Clarence may be a cat, but he`s a peace-loving cat--definitely not a mouser. This gets him evicted from his parents` home at Sam`s Sandwich Shop. Sadly, other storekeepers shoo him away too, as soon as a dreaded m-o-u-s-e appears. Poor Clarence just can`t find a place without mice. Dejected and tired, Clarence is feeling very sorry for himself when a kindly librarian takes him in. Clarence`s new home is grand--a public library filled with books. There`s even a whirring copy machine! Clarence loves to sit on top of it, earning him the name Copy Cat. For months, life is good. Very good . . . until the winter day when a you-know-what shows up. . . .
