Oscar is an ordinary cat until one day, his life is turned upside down when he finds himself alone on a ferry. Will he ever find a friend and somewhere he can call home? Oscar the Ferry Cat is based on a true life event - in April 2014 Molly Arbuthnott lost her family cat on a Caledonian MacBrayne ferry. Though Oscar was never seen again, his memory is now immortalised in the minds of all the children who read this tale.
