Bookroo's summary

Meet Binky, a house cat with cosmic dreams. Convinced he's a space explorer, Binky trains to defend his humans from 'alien' bugs. As he builds his spaceship, he must outsmart ever-watchful foes. Ready to launch with his trusty co-pilot, Ted the stuffed mouse, Binky faces a critical oversight. Can this imaginative feline fulfill his mission, or will his oversight ground his dreams? Dive into Binky's whimsical world where backyard adventures become epic space quests.

From the publisher

Binky is a space cat - at least in his own mind. He’s really a house cat who has never left the family “space station.” Unlike other house cats, Binky has a mission: to blast off into outer space (outside), explore unknown places (the backyard) and battle aliens (bugs). Binky must undergo rigorous training so he can repel the alien attacks that threaten his humans. As he builds his spaceship, he must be extremely careful with his blueprints - the enemy is always watching. Soon Binky is ready to voyage into outer space. His humans go out there every day and he’s sure they need a certified space cat to protect them. But just as he’s about to blast off with his co-pilot, Ted (stuffed mousie), Binky realizes that he’s left something very important behind … and it’s not the zero-gravity kitty litter. In the first book in the Binky Adventure series, graphic-novel readers will delight in watching where this lovable and quirky cat’s imagination takes him.
