On cover: Supporting Cyclone Gabrielle recovery.
Summary: The true story of one fluffy cat's wild, windy week. A tale of chaos and courage, ruin and rescue, as Pearl's home, like so many others, was ravaged by Cyclone Gabrielle. Pearl loved doing all her favourite things-- swatting the dog, slurping tap water, hiding in bags, and curling up to sleep. But one Monday night, with a whoosh and a whirl, her comfortable life was turned upside-down. Pearl's family home in Puketapu, in Hawke's Bay, was destroyed by Cyclone Gabrielle and it took a week for her to be reunited with her family, as the community came together in the aftermath of one of New Zealand's worst weather events.
