Many challenges seem as insurmountable as crossing an ocean. But even an ocean can be crossed by a cat, if she's determined enough. "The Cat Who Crossed The Ocean" is about two cats named Semolina and Marginal. The cats live on Staten Island and when a lady from Manhattan adopts Marginal, Semolina finds herself lonely and missing him. She discovers that Marginal left behind the red ribbon that the two of them always played with and so she decides to cross the harbor, which she calls "the ocean," to find Marginal and bring him the red ribbon.
