The charming tale of a witch''s cat who would rather be a kitchen
cat. Gobbolino has one white paw and blue eyes and isn''t wicked at
all, so his mother doesn''t like him. He escapes to look for a
kitchen home but is distrusted everywhere he goes and blamed for
mysterious happenings, such as the farmer''s milk turning sour and
the orphanage children''s gruel turning into chocolate.
