From School Library Journal
YA-A novel with humorous dialogue and a creative plot. Winstanley Fortescue, an eminent Shakespearean actor, and Monty, the resident theater cat, exchange souls in the violent collision resulting from an attempt on Win's life. Now in the cat's body, the man must learn to purr, use the litter box, and eavesdrop as he pulls together clues to learn the identity of the would-be killer. A wide, but realistic assortment of theater personages form the novel's cast of characters. Babson's knowledge of cats is evident in Monty and Win's thoughts and actions. Both of them retain some of their original instincts but must learn to cope with new limitations. The cover is eyecatching: an orange cat dressed in Shakespearean costume. However, Monty is described as being black and white! A delightful diversion by a clever author
