My first thought when reading this was that it was a story for children, one that would tell them funny adventures about cats. It does have a bit of that, but it also has more depth, getting into the nature of animals (and possibly humans, as well). Whose way of life is right and whose is wrong? Do we have the right to change how others live? Is there a way for everyone to live in harmony when differences are in conflict with those of others? A couple of quotes from the book give a feel for what I think the author is trying to say:
“Maybe this is what happens when cats get too comfortable, too far removed from the natural order of things. They don’t understand why things have always been done a certain way, so they don’t see the need for it. The customary ways just aren’t important to them anymore.”
“What I don’t get is this insistence that everyone else make the same choices.”
A thought-provoking book, and well worth the read, even if you're not a cat-lover.
