  On Israel's West Bank, a cat sneaks into a Palestinian house that has been commandeered by two Israeli soldiers. The house seems empty, until the cat realizes that a little boy is hiding beneath the floorboards. 
   
   
   
  Should she help him? After all, she's just a cat. Or is she? 
   
   
   
  It turns out that this cat is not used to thinking about anyone but herself. She was once a regular American girl who only had to deal with normal middle-school problems. 
   
   
   
  But that was before she died and came back to life as a cat, in a place with a whole different set of rules for survival. 
   
   
   
  When the little boy is discovered, the soldiers don't know what to do with him. Where are the child's parents? Why has he been left alone? It is not long before his teacher and classmates come looking for him, and the house is suddenly surrounded by Palestinian villagers throwing rocks, and the sound of Israeli tanks approaching. 
   
   
   
  Not my business, thinks the cat. And then she sees a photograph, and suddenly she understands what happened to the boy's parents, and why they have not returned. And as the soldiers begin to panic, and disaster seems certain, she knows that it is up to her to diffuse the situation. 
   
   
   
  But what can a cat do?
