Product Description
An hilarious but inspiring story starring a multitude of wonderful cats. By the author of THE BELFRY WITCHES. At first glance there's nothing special about the white stone which Cat's archeologist father gives her. And all his stories about Ancient Egypt and mysterious cat gods sound totally daft. But then Cat makes an incredible discovery. The stone DOES have amazing powers. Power to make her graceful and beautiful. Power to defeat bullying Emily Baines. Power to turn her into a CATI But all is not well in the feline world around her, for the Blessed Sardine - the cats' holy relic - has gone missing, plunging the rival dynasties of the Cockledusters and the Stinkwaters into all-out war. Now only one marmalade cat - called Cat - can help!

 It's OK! December 17, 2005
The author of the book is talented and the book's very interesting. I've always wandered what it's like to be a cat.
The only problem with this book is, I'm not so fond of some of the characters. I still think most of the kitties are sweet and adorable.
 A pleasant little fantasy for cat-loving children & adults December 6, 2005

If you'd ever imagined being a cat, what a cat really thinks about its tinkle ball, or wondered what your cat meant when she called another cat a "Tumfrit" (provided you are a person who willing to listen to cat-gossip in the first place), this book reveals all.
Summarizing the storyline of this book would do it an injustice. The storyline is not itself remarkable or unique-- a 10-year-old girl suddenly finds her world becoming much more catty that she ever imagined. It's the superior presentation and pacing makes the book an engaging read.
The story tone is consistently optimistic, but isn't a complete romp or escape. The heroine has a good home, but needs more friends which she obtains over the course of the book, though most are the fuzzy-headed sort. There's even a bit of contrived Shakespherean drama courtesy of cat that turns out to be bit more than he seems.
I'm 45; my daughter is 10. We both enjoyed the book immensely, and plan to purchase the hinted-at sequel when it's available.
