Mog, beloved cat for generations of readers, says goodbye - but stays around to see what happens next. (Mog was ever curious.) The family find a kitten, which upsets Mog - but Mog realises the kitten just needs help, which Mog is willing to give. But the family, happy with a new kitten, still remember Mog.
Although cute and touching - particularly for long-time Mog fans - this book doesn't really explain death: only that Mog is dead tired. And is a bit too fanciful and ghostly for it to be of much use, except as a conversation starter.
