Cat lived on the marina for most of her life. Her constant joy was working at the Beach Front Amusement Park. Each day, she listened to the melodious voice of Orrick O'Neal, as he sang near her booth. Orrick's father owns the park and after a horrible divorce, Orrick is picking up his life, bits at a time. Their attraction develops when Cat finds Orrick standing idly on the pier. The divorce has taken a toll and Cat envelops him with affection. After a year of dating, Orrick can't live without her. She's smart, sassy, and full of life. However, life is about to change for Orrick. He's taking a job in Malibu, and can't bear to leave her. Orrick plans a boat ride to make Cat his bride. This story is based on the poem, The Owl and the Pussy-Cat.
