Kitty is not a Cat: Hired Hound

A house full of musical cats who must stay silent? What kind of home is that? When the neighbours hire a guard dog to keep the cats quiet, they need a solution fast. And, as usual, it comes in the form of a little girl in a bright orange cat suit.

Kitty is Not a Cat is a warmly funny junior-fiction series about Kitty, a little girl who believes she can be anything she dreams - even a cat. When Kitty arrives on the doorstep of a house full of music-mad felines, their lives are turned upside down as they attempt to teach her how to be human.

Based on the Australian TV series that is enjoyed by kids the whole world over.
