This story book is about many childhood things, but mainly about ‘a Princess, a garden, a birthday cake and a bunch of only slightly wicked, fibbing, thieving cats’. The cats like people, both trust and are distrusted, do good and bad, are honest and dishonest, judge and are pre-judged. But most importantly of all, for the most part the cats are a well intentioned, lesson learning, bunch of kindly cats. They learn as everyone should, the importance of not fibbing, or thieving, or prejudging others and that doing donating (even if it’s not tax deductible), and sharing what is spare is good. They learn too, that while meeting others who are different from you, can be sometimes scary and occasionally painful, it can be magical too.
