I picked this book up when I was in primary school and couldn't get into it. I've kept it for some reason all these years (I'm now 26) and decided I should read it. I'm really glad I didn't read it as a kid! This book is surprisingly dark and, although not too much detail is given, there's some quite traumatic events! Especially for a cat loving kid. As an adult I read this in one sitting and did enjoy it. Its very clever in its use of cats to explore the themes of racism and discrimination. It's also quite witty and enjoyable, bar the descriptions of the animal abuse. I'm glad I've kept it all these years and finally read it.
