Facing homelessness, almost dying in a fire, the cruelty of other animals, the true impact of cruel words, and other misfortunes, Thomas never gives up hope that he will find a home with someone who will love him and treat him humanely

Explaining the trials and tribulations many children face every day through the eyes of a cat, "Thomas the Cat" properly expresses the daily suffering of some, which is ignored and unseen by most.
