The story centers on the life of Dave Mitchell, a 14-year old boy growing up in New York City in the early 1960s. Dave befriends an eccentric older neighbor, Kate, who takes care of many of the city's stray cats and he soon adopts an orange-striped tomcat from her. Affectionately called "cat" by Dave, his new companion accompanies him around town in this touching and sensitive coming of age story. Dave fights with his friend, meets a girl, tries to right some of society's wrongs, and navigates life in a new school with the help of his brave and perceptive pet.
