The best part about our pet care service was that they could stay in a "suite" together, complete with cane bedroom furniture, tv and piped surround music, cooked food dished up on plates, and a Japanese garden and decking outside the door...LOL. What made me laugh was the comments/instruction cards left on the doors with each pet. One small poodle's card read "Jenny likes to be dressed in her PJ's before going to bed at night...."

As well, your analysis of the story (how the author is judicious with words) and the theme of how the move can throw a child for a loop ...but as expressed through a cat...makes me even more interested.
