I got this book for my 7 yr old granddaughter. She lives 13 hours away by car and I read to her every time I visit. She (and I) LOVED this book. I've always been a cat person and am easily swayed to believe these cats talk to each other and keep the house under surveillance each night while their "Mom" sleeps. So endearing and fun to read! Paws down, the best cat book ever!
