What is Moving about?

The family is moving house, but their cat is not impressed. As furniture disappears and familiar rooms become empty, the cat feels ignored, confused and cross. Then comes the journey to the new home, where everything smells strange and there are no cosy hiding places. Determined to make the family worry, the cat disappears. But hunger eventually leads to an unexpected reunion, and the unfamiliar house begins to feel like home.
