The Last House on Needless Street by Catrina Ward

Best part of this book - life lessons from the cat.

 "...the trick to life is, if you don't like what is happening, go back to sleep until it stops."

"I think I should have my own TV show, and actually, it would be really fun.  I would call it CATching up with Olivia, and I would describe everything I ate that day.  I would talk all about my love and her tiger eye and her smooth stride.  I would also investigate the type and quality of naps there are, because there are no many different kinds.  Short and deep- I call that kind "the wishing well".  The very light doze, kind of half under, which can go on for hours - I call those "skateboards".  The sort you have in front of the TV when a good show is playing and you knid of take in the plot but also sleep- these I call "whisperers".  When you are being stroked to sleep and the rumble of your purr blends with the deep voice of the earth. I don't have a name for those ones yet.  But they're so good."
