About this ebook
Birdie Mae Hayes is getting a handle on her new gift: her ability to sense and see things before they happen. Then, one morning, a fluffy white cat appears at her window, making himself at home. Cute! She names him Henry. Only . . . no one else can see this cat. Just Birdie.
Here we go again!
Even Grandma Mae doesn't know why Henry the cat is there. But he keeps showing up, and he seems to know things that even Birdie's gift doesn’t show her. Is he there to help Birdie—or is there something he needs from her? Birdie is ready to find out on an adventure all over town!

Chapter 1
THE INVISIBLE CAT
When I woke up on Saturday morning, I wasn’t expecting to find a big white fluffy cat sitting outside my bedroom window. But there he was. He stared at me, then he yawned, laid down on the window ledge, and started cleaning himself. Well, just make yourself at home why don’t you! I thought.
I got out of bed and went over to the window. I watched him through the glass for a few minutes, wondering if he might be one of the cats left over from when old lady Miller lived in the neighborhood. She had at least fifty cats before she moved away.
Mama stepped into my bedroom and said, Good morning, Birdie Mae! What are you looking at out the window?
I pointed to the cat and said, Mama, it’s the strangest thing . . . I woke up and this big white fluffy cat is just sitting right outside my window staring at me.
Mama looked toward the window and then walked over to get a better look. I noticed her back stiffen a little and when she turned around she had a funny look on her face. She came back and sat on my bed.
She looked right at me and said, Birdie Mae, are you telling me there is a big white fluffy cat sitting outside your window, right now?
Yes ma’am! Isn’t he the cutest thing?
I asked.
Mama still had that same funny look on her face. She said, "Now, I don’t want to upset you, but Birdie Mae, I don’t see a big white fluffy cat outside your window. Or any cat outside your window. But I do believe you see one. I think, though, you may be the only one who can see it. She paused. My mouth dropped open.
It sounds like I need to call Grandma Mae right away. I’ll be right back."
And just like that Mama got up and left my bedroom in a hurry. I stared at the bedroom door and then back at the cat over and over again. I started getting a nervous feeling, and I knew this all had something to do with my gift—or what Mama now calls my special abilities.
That had to be the only reason Mama was calling Grandma Mae.
I could hear Mama talking on the phone but I couldn’t hear what she was saying. Then, before I knew it, she was coming back down the hall. She rounded the corner to my room and said in a cheerful voice, How about we take a ride out to Grandma Mae’s house today?
I immediately thought to myself, Oh great . . . here we go again.

MY GIFT
I should probably back up a little bit and tell you how I got to this point in the first place, and exactly what my gift
a.k.a special ability
is. Don’t get too excited. It’s not a gift like a cool new bike or anything like that. It’s something I was born with . . . my Grandma Mae has it too, and she calls it a fancy word—clairvoyance. I had to look that up in the dictionary. It kind of means someone who can see things before they happen—things
