Oscar A Cat's Tale by William L. Coleman

Oscar is a feral (wild) cat who wants nothing to do with humans. He lives alone in a field, hunts small animals and eats discarded food to stay alive. Then Oscar is befriended by a young school girl and finds himself in a harrowing situation where he must defend her from a much larger mountain lion. Can Oscar stand up to the mountain lion? How do a smart aleck crow and a revenge-minded bear help in the effort? What lessons will Oscar and the little girl learn about love and family?
