Comments for Storm Cats

Storm Cats 03/29/11

cover art (Link goes to Powells)In Storm Cats by Malachy Doyle, a fierce rainstorm brings together across the street neighbors when their cats go missing. A black cat and a white cat both outside when the storm hits, seek shelter to wait it out. Their boy and girl owners have to work together to find their pets. The book ends a few weeks later with a black and white litter of kittens.

The book has some interesting talking points, the fierceness of storms, how to find a lost pet, cat biology and the importance of spaying and neutering.

The illustrations by Stuart Trotter though are lovely. The cats are realistically done and the weather looks menacing and dangerous.

Four stars.
