Beauty & the Beasts

the long version

Veterinarian Dr. Eric Bergstrom--a ladies' man if you want to put it kindly, a womanizer if you don't-- is interested in a new woman. He's volunteered his services at the local cat shelter she's involved with. He's even adopted one of the shelter's cats. But he still can't manage to get Madeline to go out with him. Then Eric's twelve-year-old son, Garth, comes to town, making it clear that he resents "having" to spend the summer with his father. Garth and Madeline get along just fine, however. Until the twelve-year-old realizes his father's interested in her. You know your life isn't going well when only your cat loves you!
