Bookroo's summary

Jason's ordinary life turns extraordinary when Gareth, a talking cat with magical powers, whisks him through time. From ancient Egypt to Leonardo da Vinci's world, they face thrilling challenges and unexpected foes. Can Jason navigate these adventures and uncover the mysteries of Gareth's nine lifetimes?

From the publisher

Gareth doesn’t have nine lives, but he is definitely not an ordinary cat. For one thing, he can talk. For another, he has magical powers that Jason never dreamed of. Anywhere, any time, any country, any century–Gareth tells Jason he can take them traveling through time. And in the wink of a very special cat’s eye, they’re off. From ancient Egypt to Japan, from the land of young Leonardo da Vinci to the town of a woman accused of witchcraft, Jason and Gareth are whisked from place to place and friend to foe. This fantastic tale grabs the imagination and takes it far and wide, on the adventure of not one, but nine, amazing lifetimes.
