Cartoon arrives as a three-month-old kitten to Blin household many years ago, back when an excitable Chloe is not embarrassed to be called Misty and before her brother Arthur is born. Chloe’s dad is not as excited to share his house with a cat. Little does the family know that Cartoon is about to make their lives much more animated!

What would a girl do when a new kitten gets adopted in the family?!

Love the story. Love the artwork. It's too short for a volume though.

This was cute, and had little breaks in the graphic novel to give information about adopting and caring for a cat, these sections were very informative.

Library copy

This series is popular in my library, so this book looking at the joys and perils of cat ownership will appeal to young readers.

so cute

[Aria Summers · Rating 5 out of 5]

My son who loves cats and graphic novels adored this sweet and fun book. My son enjoyed the adventures of the growing pains and adjustments of having a new kitten, in particular how the dad had to earn the love and trust of Cartoon. The story gives a realistic perspective of what people may idealize cat ownership to be, to what the reality is. But most importantly this book has added some valuable tips on what you need if you adopt a kitten. The only part of this storyline that i would have changed was where the kitten was adopted from. The parents answered an ad in the paper. It would have been more encouraging for the author to promote adoptions from shelters. That seems to be the missing element with what this whimsical "tail" told.


Thank you to Netgalley and Papercutz for the ARC in exchange for an honesty review.

ARC Copy...it was cute especially if love hyper active cats (owner or/and lover of cats). I find it useful and informative, that the comic included kitty care information for future or current kitty owners! Nice touch on that feature.

The art style was fairly pretty. I disliked how the dad character was written as a dumb, grouchy stick-in-the-mud.

This was cute, mostly because of the difficulties between the kitten and the dad. I was really confused who Chloe was since most of the book she is called Misty and then on the last page it mentions that Chloe is sometimes called Misty.

Cute illustrations with a cute story about a young girl, Chloe, who gets a kitten and names it Cartoon. The story is basically the kitten getting used to the house and the family members, especially the dad.

2.5 The art is cute but thats about all this collection of clichéd kitty comics has going for it
