“A Much-Needed Book! As an elementary school librarian and founder of a cat rescue organization, I am always looking for good humane education titles to add to my collection; but this is the first children's picture book I have ever found that focuses on spaying and neutering and the results of not altering your cat. The story skillfully incorporates a great deal of information about the cat overpopulation problem in a manner that children can relate to. The book also includes factual information at the end of the story, to reinforce the physical as well as practical reasons why spay/neuter is essential for your pets and for society as a whole. This is a much-needed title for humane educators, libraries and animal lovers alike; it's the book we have long needed and the one I myself have always wanted to write!”

“(Gr 1-3) After Jim’s cat gingerly steps from her carrying crate, revealing a shaved belly and big black stitches, Jim’s mother tries to explain to him the necessity of having Molly spayed. In the accompanying illustrations, cats and kittens begin to appear in every crack and crevice as Jim asks his mother, “Why are there cats on the roof and cats in my room?” “Molly and Molly’s kittens had kittens,” his mother replies. Five or six generations later, the house is completely overrun, and Jim and his mother are discovering how difficult it is to find homes for all of the animals.

The artwork is probably the most appealing aspect of the book. Hansen’s familiarity with cats is evident in her humorous illustrations. The felines’ expressions and body language are beguiling, and their whimsical antics lighten the tone of the book considerably…”

“The horrific overpopulation of cats is one of our country’s most tragic animal problems. Let us hope that this charming book will help guide readers to the obvious solution, spay/neuter.”

“Great message for kids about spaying and neutering pets. A wonderfully written and illustrated book about the importance of spay and neutering. Tactfully and creatively deals with the topic. I used this book in my presentation to 2nd and 3rd graders at a Boys and Girls Club for our animal rescue group and it was very well received.”

“Great teaching tool! I teach a summer camp all about caring for animals. We read this book, and then went back and actually drew out the "family tree". It was a great visual for the kids to see how quickly animals reproduce and the importance of spay/neuter. Very age-appropriate. Great illustrations!”
