Dar viena Holly Webb šviežiena. Šį kartą istorijos herojus, mažytis kačiukas, kuris jautėsi labai vienišas ir apleistas. O ką daryti kai niekas nenori su tavimi žaisti ir bendrauti? Ieškotis naujų namų. Tačiau kaip ir visos autorės istorijos- šita taip pat baigėsi gerai ir katinėlis gavo tai ko labiausiai troško, o jo šeimininkai gavo gerą pamoką. O ir kaimynė įsigijo draugą. :D

When Darcy and her family get a kitten she's super excited but as she joins the school football team and is home later with less time for cheeky Charlie her new cat he goes missing, can they find where their lonely kitten has ran off to?



This book teaches the importance of pets and making them feel welcomed and loved especially in their early life and first days or weeks with you. It was a short but big impact story all children can learn from how to show their cat they love them.

"even though this one was a little sad, still five stars because there were some really funny parts and I love this author." - 8yo review

[Akacia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked that unlike all of the other books in the series in this one not all of the family members were crazy about the pet like they usually are.
