Nine-year-old Kate Purdy is traveling from Missouri to Oregon by wagon train, and she's worried. She isn't worried about how long the trip will be or the hardships she'll have to suffer. She's worried about Snuggs—the pretty little cat who took a shine to her in Missouri and decided to come along for the ride. Kate can't bear to give Snuggs up, even though there are no pets allowed on the wagon train. So no matter what happens—from a buffalo stampede, to a dangerous river crossing, to an Indian attack—Kate Purdy is sure of only one thing. Snuggs the cat just has to stay a secret!
