Tor

But as Emma studies her reflection in the mirror, she’s fascinated by what she sees. The color in her cheeks, the tone of her skin, is she actually getting younger? Are the lines on her weathered face starting to fade? It would appear so. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her but there’s one thing she is convinced of, ever since Tor, a mysterious stray cat came into Emma’s life, she hasn’t been the same. Every morning she wakes up feeling decades younger. Is it Tor? Does the cat’s presence have something to do with her rejuvenation?

While visiting a local cat shelter in search of a kitten, 5 year-old Cindy notices a particularly lonely looking older cat, Ringo, who quickly befriends her. Cindy learns the valuable lesson that pets can be loving friends at any age.
Paul was inspired to write Cindy and Ringo after his eye-opening experience volunteering at a local no-kill cat shelter.
