The Happy Tale of Two Cats traces the lives of two felines who happen to live "in the very same town, on the very same street," but who share very different lives with their families. The happy cat has lots of playtime and daily interaction with her family. The unhappy cat spends most of her time alone often getting "yelled at for just being a cat." These comparisons give way to hope when the unhappy cat is rescued by a "kind lady" from the animal shelter who helps her find a new "family to love." The Happy Tale of Two Cats tells a simple story that makes it easy for children to understand what every cat needs to be healthy and happy in their home. Every cat deserves to be this happy. Winner of the Association of Professional Humane Educators' 2026 Educator's Choice Awards winner for Best Humane Education Book for Young Children.
