The Nine Lives of Montezuma is the charming tales of one mischievous cat.

A cat's nine lives are full of adventure and excitement and none more so than Montezuma, the farmyard cat.

“Monty? Why do you want to be called Monty?” his mother asked.

“Montezuma, the Aztec king—he was a survivor, a great fighter!” replied Monty. Montezuma, the barnyard cat, survives nine thrilling lives of danger and adventure. As he grows from fierce kitten to grand old tomcat, he is always special, always independent, and a law unto himself. A richly observed account of the life of a farm cat and his kingdom.

From a young kitten to a grand old cat, he is cunning and proud while establishing his kingdom, but to Matthew, he's always loving and adorable.
