Painted Cats Neal F Litherland

It was a lazy summer in the park when an old flame walked back into Leo's life. It had been a while since he'd seen Delilah, and it looked like she was doing all right for herself. She had a problem, though, and it wasn't one her new squeeze could fix... a friend of hers had gone missing. Worse, she'd left her kitten behind. Mischief was a devoted mama, and she never would have abandoned Trouble to fend for himself. Especially not in a place like Scratch Alley. But for old times' sake, Leo agreed to stick his nose into things and see what he could turn up. What he found was a lot more than he bargained for. While Mischief appeared to have vanished into thin air, Leo finds low-rent muscle dogging his steps. While he's looking for Delilah's missing friend, though, they're trying to get their claws on Trouble. What's so special about the kitten that petty packs of alley enforcers are out for blood? That might just be the answer to where Mischief went, however, if Leo knows anything about... Painted Cats.
