A playful celebration of curiosity…
Inside Cat is just that: an inside cat. But while the cat’s life is bound by the walls of a house, it’s far from dull. As Inside Cat roams from room to room wondering, both cat and reader discover worlds and sensations beyond what’s right in front of them. And just when Inside Cat is sure it knows everything, another surprise awaits!
