Review
"Kitamura wittily depicts cats as easygoing layabouts in these cinematic comics. . . . With their big ears, dazed eyes and nonplussed expressions, his cats are anything but quick thinkers, and their neighborhood "adventures" unfold at a leisurely pace that heightens the absurd humor." —Publishers Weekly
