At first dismissive and horrified, King Cat feels his reign threatened—until the dog disappears, leaving the house eerily quiet. With humor and warmth, the story follows how King Cat negotiates new norms and ultimately learns to coexist—and even cooperate—with the newcomer. A gently humorous tale about friendship, compromise, and adjusting to change, it’s perfect for households welcoming a new baby or pet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eAbout The Author:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"189\" data-end=\"204\"\u003eMarta Altés\u003c\/strong\u003e (often credited as Manta Altes) is an award-winning Spanish-born author and illustrator based in the UK.
