![]() ![]() One thing’s for sure, I’ll never look at my cats the same way again. The fact that I’m heavily a cat person probably affects my feelings on it, but my 10-year-old daughter, who is pretty equal on dogs and cats, also loved it. I haven’t read much Cleary in my life, maybe just a Ramona book or two when I was younger, but I think I’ll have to remedy that, as I just loved this story so much. I only wish cats really understood as much as Socks did in the book-it would make certain parts of life a lot simpler. But the indignation from the cat’s perspective felt completely justified too. In life, cats certainly do often get ignored, even pushed aside, when important things are happening, and it seems perfectly all right. This short, simple tale about a cat that is adopted by a young couple and is eventually displaced by a newborn baby was a lot of fun to read, not to mention very true to cat ownership. ![]()
