Why Does the Cat Do That

Rating:
Summary: Clever mixture of fact and fiction
Review: Susan Bonners' pictures and words are a fascinating introduction to cat psychology and sociology. When Bob comes to cat-sit for Molly and house-sit for the Fosters' house, he is intrigued by many facets of the cat's behavior. On alternate pages, Bonners explains the roots of Molly's actions. The action pictures of Molly, as well as of other wild and domestic cats, are delightful. Kids will love understanding their cat, and explaining its behavior (probably at length) to any adult who will listen.

At the end of the story, Bob gets a book about cat behavior from the library. Oh, Ms. Bonners, why didn't you have him get WHY DOES THE CAT DO THAT?
