"High Clowder Cats" interests me because of the themes that are said to be discussed therein. The themes of Love, perfect unison and equity drew my attention while reading the review. I will be glad to have a taste of the entire book

I recently completed "High Clower Cats - Ruby Knights," and I was utterly captivated by the narrative! Ruby emerged as a clever and courageous leader, and her unwavering resolve truly motivated me. The storyline was filled with unexpected turns and rich emotional layers, making it difficult to put the book down. Additionally, I appreciated the vibrant and intricately crafted world; every location and character felt authentic and dynamic. It was an exhilarating and unforgettable experience! :D :D

"High Clowder Cats" by Ruby Knight reveals how the same things apply to both animals and humans. It's just that we live in a world that different from theirs. Animals have feelings too.
Congrats on being BOTD. Insightful review.

This is quite an interesting story. Bushytail's conditions capture some real-life struggles, and I look forward to finding out how he navigated them. The story also relays solid themes, like faith and hope, which again reflect some of the core attributes needed to navigate life's harsh realities. I commend Ruby Knight for getting this book thoroughly proofread.

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! I found it fascinating how the author used Bushytail's personal journey to explore broader themes like leadership, empathy, and justice within the world of catkind. I especially appreciated your mention of Bristle and the powerful stone—faith and guidance are often tricky themes to incorporate naturally, but it sounds like Ruby Knight did it effectively. I'm also intrigued by the contrast between characters like Bushytail, who leads with fairness, and Brokenear, who represents rebellion and envy. That kind of character dynamic adds real depth to animal fantasy. Your review makes it clear that this is much more than just a story about cats—it’s a tale with heart, meaning, and real emotional growth. Definitely adding this to my reading list!

Unfortunately, I will have to pass on this book, but please don't take it personally; it is not in any way related to the story itself; it is just due to the simple fact that I am a dog person and really don't like cats)) Still, congratulations on BOTD!

Thank you for your lovely review. The cover caught my attention. It looks incredibly cute. I'm sure any cat lover wants to have a closer look. The story follows Busytail's leadership journey to save and restore the glory of the Clowder. I'd love to read this book.

'Official Review: High Clowder Cats' by Ruby Knight provides an insight into the exciting plot of the young adult story. It is a keen reflection on the author's work. This is the story of Bushytale, a lone cat who wandered about living a wild, carefree life. He wanted to have a family and yearned for companionship, a sense of belonging, and a purpose. The book portrays his overall growth. It conveys the message that empathy, equity, and justice would stand out everywhere, not just in catkind!

I think this is my first time encountering "animal fantasy" and I'm only sorry child and teenage me didn't stumble upon it sooner. It sounds like such a cute and originl way to tell a coming-of-age story. I haven't read the full story yet, but this seems to be a great recommendation.
