🐾☕ The House-Sitting Kitty

When you're off working hard to buy cat food…
Your cat might be out living their best life.

This delightful and cheeky picture book turns the idea of a “stay-at-home” pet on its head. While their human heads to work, this clever kitty sneaks out for a dreamy solo adventure—complete with lattes, bookstore browsing, sushi dates, and even a relaxing soak in a hot spring.

📖 What’s it about?
It all starts like a normal day: the human leaves for work, and the cat is left behind to "watch the house." But the moment the coast is clear, this fluffy freeloader is off on the town. From sipping coffee to getting pampered at the salon, it’s a full day of freedom and indulgence—basically, like a paid vacation.

With cozy, nostalgic illustrations and hilarious slice-of-life moments, this book captures the fantasy life of a cat… and maybe the secret dream life of every overworked adult, too.

✨ Why kids (and grown-ups) love it:

• A funny, feel-good story with major vacation vibes
• Beautifully detailed, hand-painted illustrations with a retro charm
• Perfect for cat lovers, cozy bookworms, and stressed-out grown-ups
• A visual treat that plays like an Instagram reel of a cat’s perfect day
  
• Great for ages 5+ (and up!)

Created by Japanese artist and self-proclaimed cat lover Machida Naoko, this picture book is pure joy in page form. Whether you're a lifelong cat person or just dreaming of your next day off, you’ll find yourself smiling from the very first paw print.
