My overall opinion of the book is great. I liked Bushytail's growth from lone tom to leader, though occasionally, his story's developments were a bit predictable. The writing style is simple, so it's suitable for young readers as well. Technically, the genre is fantasy, as it's a sort of fairy tale with cats. The cover clearly shows that with the image and the title referring to cats. I learned how stillness can be your greatest strength. I recommend the book especially to young people, as it's partly a coming-of-age story that can resonate with them.
