Adrian is a typical curious, condescending house cat. He loves finding new cats to talk to, mice to torment, and dogs to taunt (and run away from). Then Adrian's life becomes complicated by females, and his experiences laughably mirror humans' struggles in relationships. First theres a snub-nosed female cat. Next, a nomad cat thats mysterious and knowledgeable in herbs. Adrians friend, Lucky, finds a mate sooner than he does. This pushes Adrian to decide between the two cats sooner than he can handle. Stuart and Linda Macfarlane achieved a great mantra in writing this fictional diary: life is full of surprises. 

Opinion: 

Whether it is finding a friend in the most unusual place or discovering lessons through relationships, their character Adrian follows in humans' footsteps very closely. I disagreed with the punctuation of the writing style, but the full meaning and storyline were very enjoyable. Adrian's day-to-day diary entries made each chapter interesting and surprising. The comfortable narration frequently made me forget that it was a diary. The irony of the similarities between a cat's life and a human's life were amazing. These two authors did a wonderful job in working together on their story.
