The story is just amazing and inspiring telling us how a lonely cat gains amazing achievements and becomes a strong independent character.

I am not a fan of cats, so this is not a book I would have been drawn to read. While the book touches several topics and is not exclusively focused on cats (as purely animal creatures), it is not a book I am interested in.

As a cat lover, I'm looking forward to reading today's BOTD! Filled w/life lessons on friendship, love, & justice, readers will not only find the cat characters relatable, but also the storyline engaging & enjoyable. Great for readers of fantasy & YA novels. Thanks for the helpful review; I downloaded my copy! :-)

A fantastic story about leadership. Bushytail goes through the journey from outsider to leader in a community of feline friends. What an underdog, or should I say, 'undercat' hero! I can't wait to read High Clowder Cats till the very end!
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

This book tells the story of Bushytail, a lone cat who wandered about living a wild, carefree life. He was nonchalant and just lived for survival, but he felt empty and incomplete. Like every other cat, Bushytail wanted to have a family. He yearned for companionship, belonging, and purpose, but this was not coming forth, and life was not going as easy as he thought it to be. He gradually came to a decision that could either bring to light his needs or push them further away. This book portrays the overall growth of Bushytail and how far he came in the achievement of his goals and the fulfillment of his needs.
The need to belong seems to be intrinsic to all creatures, and it is especially important to highlight nowadays when we need community more than ever.
Also, the author beautifully captured the theme of rebellion, envy, and hatred through Brokenear, who tortured and maimed some of the cats in order to take away the pride and reputation of Bushytail and was constantly at war with him and the members of High Clowder till his last breath. This book was written in simple diction.
There's always someone like that, isn't it?
And who doesn't love cats?

Thank you for your review!

The book sounds interesting and meaningful. Though it’s a fantasy story about catkind, it clearly reflects many aspects of humankind. It explores deep and universal topics such as justice, friendship, belonging, hope, and leadership. This makes it not only engaging but also thought-provoking. It will be interesting to read.Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

"High Clowder Cats" sounds like a great young adult animal fantasy novel. The intertwining of human challenges and characteristics is reminiscent of "The Guardians of Ga'hoole" and "Green Ember," both amazing fantasy adventures. I hope Bushytail finds the strength and wisdom to preserve the future of catkind.

This book can be made as a movie like 'the pet' or any animal animation. I read the sample and it was quite amazing. The Youth adults, teens who love animal or animal animation would love this.
True reviews only, gonna be honest :techie-studyinggray:
