Reach for this book when your child feels unfairly treated by household rules or is tempted to stomp off after being told 'no.' It is a comforting tool for navigating those first brushes with accountability and the realization that chores or health choices are part of being in a family. The story follows Hamish, a pampered cat who decides to leave home after his owners put him on a diet to encourage his mouse-catching duties. As he wanders the seaside, he discovers that life on his own is far less cozy than the life he left behind. It is a gentle, humorous way to discuss why parents set boundaries and how home is defined by more than just what is on the dinner plate. Perfect for ages 4 to 8, this classic tale reinforces that while rules can be annoying, they are often born out of love and shared responsibility.
