Harry, a plump cat, wants to play tag with Vera, a playful butterfly. He follows her out of the window onto the roofs, but soon loses her and also his way home. Harry goes in search of a new house. 

Flemish picture book maker Leo Timmers shows off his best side in this cheerful story about a scared cat. He gives form to Harry’s quest with beautiful compositions and a relatively subdued colour palette. A new highpoint in Timmers’ exceptional oeuvre.
