Shortlisted, Children's and Young Adults Award, Western Australian Premier's Book Awards 1993 'Let me tell you know that Tangles has gold-green eyes and fur as black as you can get. There isn't a scrap of any other colour on him. Dad says we'll lose him one dark night, but he forgets the eyes. They're like lights in the dark. You can tell the time by the eyes that's the first thing you notice when you have a cat. At night they let in the light and grow huge and round and shining. In the daytime the pupils get thinner and thinner, until by lunchtime they're slits, as thin as a thread of hair.' After Ginger is killed, Sophie vows never to have another cat. But she can't resist the black kitten at the hospital fair she's determined to buy him, whatever she has to do. Tangles really likes her he's her friend, her clock, her electric blanket. It's almost perfect when they're together. But why does she have this nagging feeling, like an ache inside, that she'll have to give him up? Why does her life become so tangled? A delicate story of friendship, honesty and change, by a writer who understands the intense dramas of childhood.
