About The Cat and the Dragon:
A fire-breathing dragon raised by a single mother cat.
It was a being that should never have been born into this world. For a certain reason, this dragon, who has an extreme dislike of humans, continues to stay close to the cats of the forest as if repaying the kindness of his mother cat. The cats, in turn, affectionately call him “Uncle with Wings.”
The dragon helps and watches over these curious cats. At first, the dragon hates humans, but through the cats, he learns about humans, and eventually…
This is a warm, mysterious, and somewhat bittersweet story about a dragon raised by cats, the cats themselves, and humans.
