The story is told from the cats’ perspectives. Lilly-Puss is an independent little girl, you can absolutely picture her ignoring her human servants and bossing around her new housemate Pharaoh. She’s also a lethal hunter outside, when she’s not taking the warmest, comfiest naps inside. Pharaoh is more of the quiet kind of cat, more like I associate with older cats, but here it’s because he’s able to understand the thoughts of everyone around him. He’s also a fan of warm naps, but then, who isn’t? It’s easy to see why the human servants like these little guys so much, and why the woman servant would be so upset when she thought Pharaoh was lost.
Lilly-Puss and Pharaoh: Where is Home? is free on Kindle Unlimited. The end of the story makes it clear that Lilly-Puss and Pharaoh’s friendship and their adventures are just beginning.
