Bookroo's summary

A boy's relentless passion for drawing cats lands him in trouble, as his feline creations appear in forbidden places. Yet, when his artistic obsession seems to have gone too far, the cats find a way to repay their creator. What mysterious power do these drawings hold, and how will they change his fate?

From the publisher

There once was a boy who could not stop himself from drawing cats. He drew them everywhere, even where they should not be: on the temple walls and in the priest’s books. Although the cats sometimes got the boy in trouble, one day they found a way to reward their skillful creator.
