Mog and the Granny

Mog is a kind cat, and she's not exactly dim, but she does forget things sometimes. Judith Kerr has written a whole series of picture books about her adventures.

Mog is separated from her beloved Debbie in Mog and the Granny, because the family is off on holiday to America. How Mog copes with the changes (she doesn't like them, you see), and makes friends with the Granny and her own cat is quite a tale, especially since Mog is a bit of a worrier and she keeps having (uncannily accurate) dreams about what Debbie is up to - which leads to disaster when she thinks Debbie is on her way home.

The book is cheerfully unPC in places (take a look at the dream about the Person Birds), which may bother some people; but this is more than offset by the sight of the Granny charging about in her electric wheelchair and the way the friendship between her cat and Mog is developed.
