Book Description

Could he really be a direct descendant of Beethoven's cat? Wiggie, short for Ludwig, is as astonished as the rest of the Carter family when he discovers a picture of the famous composer together with his cat Ludwig. The resemblance between the cat and Wiggie himself is amazing. Is Ludwig his ancestor? Or could it be that he is the reincarnation of Ludwig? Since Beethoven was very close to his cat he begins to haunt Wiggie in his dreams. But what is it he wants him to do? Does he want Wiggie to record an unfinished composition? Does he want him to rid the house of rock music? And is Wiggies sudden longing for fish somehow related to the fact that Beethoven always fed his cat fish? Poor Wiggie not only loses sleep, he also loses weight since he refuses to eat the cat food he normally loves. Josh, the Carters' other cat and Winston, their bulldog, are no help during these haunted times. Wiggie's increasingly irrational behavior result in the Carters taking him to the Vet Clinic. And if that isn't bad enough, the veterinarian tells them there is nothing he can do. What Wiggie needs is an animal psychiatrist! A very funny story about an eccentric cat and the warm, true-to-life family whose home he disrupts.
