Wild Kat

Fifteen-year-old Katarina and her little brother Jamie have their rural world turned upside down when their father is forced overseas and they have to go live with their mother, a veterinary scientist for a zoo in the big city. Kat develops a strange rapport with the resident Siberian tiger, Garang. It turns out to be more than a rapport, and Kat can mind meld with Garang, eventually taking on some tiger-like attributes (night vision, acute sense of smell and hearing). Dr. Lydia Raushark, a renowned geneticist, develops an interest in Garang and Kat's relationship, but how honorable are her scientific intentions?
