Illustrated by Mitch Vane.
Scratch Kitten has just escaped from a land-locked life as the pet and plaything of some spoilt children. Determined to get back to sea� he tries to swim aboard a passing ship. When he doesn't make it� he is rescued by Jock� a deck hand on a tiny fishing ship bound for the North Sea in search of herring. Scratch should be in heaven but instead� he and Jock have their work cut out for them� trying to keep The Rat Pack away from their rat-phobic captain. Will Scratch and Jock get the better of these Terrible Beasties� or will it be the other way around...?
