What does a cat really want from the human he owns? The illustrations are simple, uncomplicated. The text is a simple, one sentence story, told by the cat himself of what he would like to see in a friend. “I’d pick a friend who would stroke me gently head to tail, but no too much and rub under my chin and behind my ears. I’d pick a friend who wouldn’t drag me around-I’m not a cat like that!”. Suitable for ages 4-7. 32 pages
