Moving house is always an anxious time but in this story it is not the chief protagonist, marmalade cat Toffee, who is doing the moving. The new kitten on the block is the reason for Toffee's anxiety: the kitten is keen to get to know Toffee but her forays into Toffee's territory are, at first, met with angry snarls and much tail swishing. Before long though, having a new feline friend proves to be great fun for Toffee too, but of course there is still the dog ... A gentle tale about the uncertainty of change which will strike a chord with many young listeners and readers. It is enlivened by the different viewpoints and page layouts used in the watercolour and pencil illustrations.
