Wonderful book, although the dump parts still make me shiver.

Charming little story; the illustrations are fabulous. The cat's continuing love for the milkman (cupboard love right there) is hilarious, but I expect if I lived with a family who thought it was better to chuck my beloved blanket instead of just washing the thing, I'd be looking outside the house for a favourite human too.

I found this book while on holidays and went "ooh, children's book staring a cat, I'll read this and it'll be cute". Despite the happy ending, this was - for me, cat-lover supreme - an incredibly traumatic read. Given that it almost reduced me to tears, I do not recommend this for young children.

The pictures, however, are very cute.
