The Crossbreed in Bloomington, MN

This young adult nature novel tells the story of the life of a crossbreed cat: the offspring of a mating between a large feral female house cat and a much larger wild bobcat. The Crossbreed follows the adventures of the cat from the time of his birth in southern Wisconsin, his precarious and near-fatal experience in a flash flood, a rescue by a young boy who adopts him and their accidental separation in an incident which takes the cat far away to Arkansas, where he is hunted and mistreated by many people as he gradually travels overland toward home.
