How to Read Breaking Cat News

The nine published collections are shown in publication order. Recurring cats and relationships build over time, so Breaking Cat News is the best introduction, but the short report-style comics also make later volumes approachable on their own.

Baba Mouse to the Rescue! is scheduled for October 27, 2026, so it is not included yet.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

These are full-color comic collections for middle-grade readers, not traditional chapter-book novels. Much of the humor comes from cats treating vacuum cleaners, new food, wildlife, and human routines as urgent breaking news.

There is mild cartoon peril, arguments, spooky stories, a missing pet mystery, and occasional references to vet visits or animals' past hardships, but the overall tone is warm and comic. Bonus sections often include drawing lessons, paper dolls, recipes, or other activities.
