A heartwarming and unconventional look at the joys, challenges, and adventures of pet ownership.




Follow our determined young heroine as she embarks on a journey to become a cat, embracing the freedom and independence that comes with this feline lifestyle. With all the time in the world to pursue her desires and answer to no one, she revels in the ability to pounce on anything or anyone that catches her eye in the dark, and she enjoys the freedom to come and go as she pleases, without any questions asked.




However, there's one aspect of feline life that our young cat-owner may not be entirely convinced by. Despite the allure of a life of leisure and independence, she can't help but wonder if there's more to life than just lounging around, napping, and chasing after mice.




As she explores the world around her, our heroine discovers that being a cat is not all it's cracked up to be. She faces challenges and obstacles that test her courage and resilience, and she must learn to adapt to a new way of life.




Through her adventures, our heroine learns valuable lessons about friendship, loyalty, and self-discovery. She discovers that true happiness comes not from material possessions or societal expectations, but from embracing the unique qualities and quirks that make her who she is.




In the end, our heroine emerges as a stronger and more confident individual, ready to face any challenges that come her way. She has learned to appreciate the simple joys of life, and she has discovered a new sense of purpose and meaning in her life as a cat.

From the inimitable and best-selling author-illustrator of Penguin Peril comes a zany new picture book full of mischief, cheeky humour, and stylish verve!
