This book is told in the voice of a cat: 'Hey, I’ve woken up. I’m not sleepy at all. Play with me. If you don’tI’ll take all your favorite things and rip them to shreds I’ll help myself to the cat food,' etc. It ends with the poignant words, ‘Listen to my heartbeat. I know you can hear it. My time will come much sooner than yours. So please, wake up.’
