Official synopsis Publisher
“How well do you really know your pets? Milo is convinced that the cat in his house in NOT his pet cat, Stella. He knows her better than anyone… but she’s doing everything differently! She’s sleeping in the green cat bed, she’s climbing high on the tall fence, she’s happily chowing down on the dry cat food–she doesn’t like any of these things! Is Stella just trying some new things or is she a completely different cat altogether?” — Page [4] cover.
