The Upstairs Cat is actually about two cats - one who lives upstairs and who won't come downstairs and one who lives downstairs and refuses to come upstairs. It's a standoff with both cats glaring and hissing at each other until one day when they meet on the stairs! Look out as the fur flies! Told in rhyming text, the story illustrates the stupidity of their "year after year" catfights and concludes that "nothing is dumber than war," especially when you don't even know what you're fighting about. Illustrator Howard Fine captures the personalities of the two cats and their respective territories in vibrant pastels. Find this one at E KUS.
