Strays

By Joe Hohler

Henry Watts doesn't want a cat. Unfortunately, the cat hasn't gotten the memo.

Still reeling from the abrupt departure of his long-term partner, Henry returns home from work one evening to find a cat perched on his doorstep, staring at him like it knows something he doesn't. When the cat refuses to leave, Henry begrudgingly takes it in.

Becoming a reluctant cat owner also brings Ivy Kohl into his life - a sharp, luminous woman determined to dismantle Henry's well-practiced solitude. In spite of himself, he is drawn in.

As the months pass, Henry begins to shed his familiar remoteness and tentatively opens himself to companionship in all its messy forms.
