In this sequel to Cat’s Litter: The Third Cajun Tale, Cat is home recuperating from a near-death experience, and is frustrated at the limitations placed upon him until complete recovery from the surgery.

Cantankerous Cat Touchette and his friend and employee, Tee Man, stumble upon Cat’s murdered neighbor, Ovey LaCourier. Cat later learns that the old man’s son, Ari, is in town and meets with him.

Ari, an Army sniper, is near retirement eligibility, and in the process of investigating his father’s murder with Cat, his involvement with a childhood friend’s sister, and a general affinity for his new friends, gives retirement serious consideration. 

The story unfolds from both Ari’s and Cat’s points of view, and moves rather quickly. Ari and Cat are kidnapped by three ne’er-do-gooders and manage to escape, but not without gaining a hint of the kidnappers’ identity. Cat’s family are all busy helping Patsy Mae deliver her baby, and once again, Cat cannot keep himself from landing in the middle of someone’s problem. 

The surprise ending will leave the listener seeking the fifth Cajun tale!

Strong language and some explicit descriptions of sex.
