I, Kotovski Krystyna Piotrowska-Breger

"Did no one understand I don't like changes? Did no one understand I'm not terribly brave? Nestled up against the girl, we took a short trip and then the three of us went into an apartment. Delicately settled on the floor, I took off 'for parts unknown, ' as people say, which as a cat I take to mean: wherever nobody will find me. Was some new tragedy about to unfold? Did something seriously endanger me? What could it be?" In I, Kotovski, author Krystyna Piotrowska-Breger recounts the life of her beloved cat, Kotovski, through his eyes. Through short chapters and illustrations, readers follow Kotovski as he contemplates his daily life, homelessness, emigration, and eventually illness. Everything described is based on real events and places-the village where they sometimes spent the weekends was Niedzica, Poland, while on vacation, he spent time on Fire Island, New York.
