Cats don't really have nine lives, but they can visit nine different lives, anywhere, anytime. This is the secret Jason's cat, Gareth, tells him. When Jason hears this, he begs to go along. Soon cat and boy find themselves in ancient Egypt on the first of nine fantastic adventures. With the wink of an eye, Jason and Gareth are transported to alluring settings in world history. On their travels they meet interesting and famous people, such as St. Patrick, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Whether the destination is Renaissance Italy or revolutionary America, their appearance never fails to cause a stir. And wherever they go, Gareth leaves his inimitable pawprint on history. Filled with fascinating historical information and enchanting cat lore, Time Cat showcases the author's wonderful talent for capturing the imagination as he immerses you in other cultures. Ron Keith's delightful narration conveys all the humor and excitement as you travel through time with Gareth and Jason.

      Nine-year-old Jason and his cat, Gareth, travel back in time to Gareth's nine different lives and, in the process, influence the course of important historical events--especially as they relate to cats! Narrator Ron Keith captures each character's personality while delivering a superbly whimsical reading. The cat's speech has a suitably aloof, finicky tone. Simpering servants, maniacal magistrates and terrifying tyrants are all just as convincing. Each side of the cassettes begins with an arrival and ends with a departure from a particular time and place. This makes for a conveniently educational, as well as a delightfully entertaining, story.
