Not My Cat by Stacey Patton, illustrated by Acamy Schleikorn
When a cat appears on Stacey’s porch, she calls it Not My Cat. Not My Cat keeps appearing on her porch and hanging around, despite Stacey not wanting a cat. And yet, despite not wanting a cat, Stacey feeds the cat, buys toys for her, invites her inside. Soon, Not My Cat is surely Stacey’s cat. But when she disappears, Stacey worries she might not come back. This sweet and fun picture book is based on the author’s experiences with a stray cat that soon became her cat.
