I AM CAT!

A proud puss tells it like it is.

“I am Cat. Cat is me. A most superior thing to be.” Cat likes their paws and their chair-scratching claws. And in the morning, when Cat is hungry, it’s just too bad if their human is sleeping. A jump on the bed (and Cat’s human’s head) and a “Me-ow!” chorus will get breakfast in the bowl tout de suite. Cat has no fear when dealing with intruders (Cat’s own mirror reflection)—a good hiss and a yowl will scare them away. Prowling in the backyard, Cat feels as bold as a lion—but even a lion can be startled by the giant dog next door! After getting stuck in a tree and then rescued, Cat is as serene as ever and ready for a quick bath. “Every day is Cat fun day. Little human wants to play.” Then it’s lap time…and nap time…and “me time,” but maybe the family pup wants to play? Bently’s kitty’s-eye view of a day is a rhyming romp that young feline aficionados will enjoy. The orange-haired, fair-skinned parent and child in Chatterton’s dynamic and colorful illustrations obviously love their mischievous tuxedo cat. (Even the canine sibling seems to like the cat.)

A furry, funny feline day in the life; every cat should be so lucky.
