Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Sometimes funny, sometimes touching, this adoption story, Won Ton, told entirely in haiku, is unforgettable.

Nice place they got here.

Bed. Bowl. Blankie. Just like home!

Or so I've been told.


Visiting hours!

Yawn. I pretend not to care.

Yet -- I sneak a peek.

So begins this beguiling tale of a wary shelter cat and the boy who takes him home.

A cat arrives at a shelter, arranges to go home with a good family, and settles in with them, all the while letting them know who is boss and, finally, sharing his real name.
