How to love a cat:

Hold him gently in your lap. But don’t panic if he bites—he’s only playing. Be careful not to scare him away. Listen for his motor. He’s telling you he loves you, too!

After being out of print for many years, the beloved story about a persistent little girl, a capricious cat, and the wild apartment-building chase that ensues is available again. From Joan L. Nodset and Steven Kellogg, the author and illustrator of the original two-color book, comes this enlarged edition, exquisitely reillustrated with full-color mixed-media paintings.
