The author recommends reading this book out loud. I agree. Upper elementary teachers might consider it for classroom read-aloud, even!

A lovely book and as a cat owner it really hit home. I recommend this highly for any pet owner and as a children's book also. I believe children would profit from realizing how pets and humans help one another.

I am a cat person and really enjoyed this book. It is written from the cat's (fur person) point of view and quite funny. This book is enlightening as far as what the author feels the cat's body posture reveals and the cat's thoughts on daily life.
