Lonely Is a Tabby follows Jax, a barn cat who longs to belong. No matter how hard he tries, the wildcats in the woods ignore him or push him away, leaving him wondering if something is wrong with him. But on the quiet walk home—past the goats, calves, and foals—someone kind has been watching him all along. With soft woodland illustrations and a tender narrative, this story helps children understand loneliness, self-worth, and the surprising places where friendship can grow.
