But when he wakes up, he finds a hand reaching for him and a lady proclaiming that she has always wanted a kitten--and will name him Luigi! At first, a somewhat puzzled Luigi, used to being left alone to creep and dangle and spin webs, resists her kind advances. But soon, tasty breakfasts and getting tucked into bed (no one's ever wished him good night before) have him thinking that kittens surely live magical lives. \u003ci\u003eI will be a kitten!\u003c\/i\u003e he decides. But how long can he keep up his facade, and what might be at stake in pretending to be someone you're not?
