Ekke, Lee, and Joosep have forever been asking for their parents to adopt a cat. Mum has always answered with "we'll see" or "I'll think about it" but the kids have started to suspect that those are just excuses to disguise a definite "NO!" . Yet, one morning mum surprises everyone by bringing home a tabby named Prooton. Life with a cat is not at all what the children expect. Since Prooton is their first pet, the absurdity of everyday life with a cat catches them off guard. Besides humour, there are also plenty of facts and figures about being a cat owner but they're disguised so cunningly that it doesn't feel like the author is trying to educate the reader. Even though she is, in a purrfect way.
