Cat School: Odd Cat Out!

Rose RobbinsClick here for biography

First in a graphic novel trilogy featuring young kittens Tangle and Eno, and their new and neurodivergent friend Pelly.

It's the first day of Cat School - a place where curious kittens learn to become confident cats. After overcoming their nerves, old friends Tangle and Eno look forward to their exciting new schedules. They meet their classmates - including Pelly, a neurodivergent kitten who knows she's a little different and hides her true self to fit in. Can Tangle and Eno learn to understand her? And can Pelly hang in there long enough to understand them?

Praise for this book:

'A generous book, full of love and respect for all children, genuinely useful life lessons and, importantly, cats. Rose Robbins is the best head teacher a cat school could have.' Viviane Schwarz

'I hated school, and am often undecided about cats - but I totally LOVE Rose Robbins' CAT SCHOOL - funny, brilliantly imaginative and surprisingly affecting - this book is a total treat!' Joff Winterhart

'I loved it and read it in one sitting. My highlights were: the smells to signal lesson changes, so apt and very funny, and Granmog, I thought the way she took Pelly's side was beautiful and so affirming for Pelly. I also loved the multiple points of view and the validation of school-based anxiety which I feel is absolutely vital.' Rebecca Burgess
