In everyone's life, there comes a time when we must face the errors of our past. When we are forced to make the hard choices.
Sportster is not just an old, coddled cat. He has served as his mom's muse while she penned her novels and presented writing lectures across the U.S.
When his mom turns off the coastal highway onto the narrow, tree-shrouded river road to their new forested home, Sportster can't shake the apocalyptic sense his next adventure is going to put Alice in Wonderland's trip down the rabbit hole to shame.
Hardly settled in their new home, Sportster's fast-approaching senior years begin to unearth haunting dreams of his lost love, Petunia. When bolder-than-life images of Petunia appear on his mom's computer screen confusion sets in. Or is it dementia? Is she real or a ghost? Has she come for him? Or is she calling for him to come to her?
The lure of his golden-eyed mystic, Petunia drives him to revisit his long-ago kitten decisions when he abandoned his family and her. Is it too late to go back and do the right thing? To make his amends? Should he, or could he abandon his loving mom who has provided a charmed life that most cats, and even humans envy?
When we must Activate Love Mode, Sportster's time has come, but has he waited too long?
