On the surface, Jennie is an adventure story about cats, but actually it’s a morality tale about friendship, love, trust, abandonment and regrets. Jennie is a cat who hates and distrusts humans because she was once abandoned. Peter is a cat who once was human. Inspired to post by #ReadingtheMeow2025 because when I read it in 2018 I became totally sidetracked by Paul Gallico’s unexpected life.
