I like this book very much even if Daddy Tim was being a Nose to bring it home to me. I give Slips’s story five treats! Our highest honor. I like the story and I love the pictures. C Roger Mader really knows his cats. I think little humans who are scared of anything would benefit from reading Slips’s story!
Nearly a year ago, I recommended “Lost Cat” by this human. I think I like this more. This is the story of a cat (who doesn’t have a name—grr! I will call him Slips for reasons that become apparent). Slips gets adopted by a nice lady. Slips likes his new home…especially the balcony! He can walk out on it and get access to the roof. The balcony and the roof are HIS domain…I wish I had a balcony—or somewhere that Bubble couldn’t follow me. He stalks that pigeon…and he JUMPS! But he misses and he falls…and falls…and falls—I was scared at this point…but he falls through an awning (Daddy Tim gave me that word, don’t know what it is) and a man catches him. Slips is OK, but he’s scared…especially of the balcony. But one day, he sees a crow out on his balcony. The jungle cat is awakened again, and Slips scares that bird away! Then he feels safe to return to his rooftop.
