This book is about a cat who follows her human girl around the house and does what the human girl does. The little human tunnels under newspapers and so does the kitty. The little human hides under the desk and so does her kitty.
"My cat copies me. We help with the laundry, and chase flies. Smelling the flowers or watching bugs, she always copies me."
They do all sorts of things together. Then the little human decides to copy her cat. Very smart. They stare into the night. They climb book shelves (I am not allowed to do this. Maybe when Daddy Tim sees it happening in a book and nothing breaks, he'll let ME!)
{Daddy Tim editorial note: no way, Clumsy-rella}
They stretch and go out side and make new friends. OK, you had me until that last one there. That is not something Kitties really do. But I still like the book especially the pictures. The kitty looks very realistic and seems to be having a good time. Daddy Tim says this is really about a scared little girl learning to be strong by watching her cat, and it's not supposed to be totally realistic...I like the cat pictures.
We think little humans who are smart enough to like kitties will enjoy this book as will humans who like to look at pretty pictures of mostly natural pusscats.
Today's tip for Cat Children of Human People (CaCHuPs): Following your human all the time is a pretty good idea. You tend to get a lot of pets. You get to find laps right when they happen! You can sometimes get through a door they don't want you to. If you are always around, they will play with you more often (you can strategically place your best toys in their path). And most importantly, they drop lettuce. {Daddy Tim editorial note: we think Bubble was a vegetarian in a past life. Her favorite food to steal is lettuce. And, yes, if held correctly by paw or hand, she'll eat the whole leaf.}
