Bookroo's summary

Kitty, a cat who thrives on routine, faces a surprising challenge when his comfortable world is upended by a trip to kindergarten. Used to a predictable life with meals at precise times and favorite toys, Kitty must navigate a day filled with unfamiliar activities. Will Kitty adapt to this new environment, or will he resist the change? With the support of his caring boy and a patient teacher, Kitty discovers that trying new things might not be so bad after all, as long as he can still make it home for supper.

From the publisher

In this back-to-school primer perfect for the most stubborn readers, Kitty knows three things. He is the center of the universe. He likes it that way. Nothing should ever change. But to Kitty’s everlasting surprise and annoyance, things continue to change around him! Kitty has everything he could ever want–breakfast at 7:00, supper at 4:00, and his favorite raggedy mouse toy. When Kitty goes to sleep, he dreams of a so-cozy life exactly the same as his own because same is what Kitty likes. But Kitty’s world is rocked when his good, nice boy announces that Kitty will be going to kindergarten. At kindergarten, Kitty is not able to do the things he usually does. He can’t watch his nature shows, sharpen his claws, or hunt for snacks. But with the help of his good, nice boy and the teacher, Kitty learns that he can enjoy trying new things…and still get home in time for supper.
