“Every day is the same, and I'm tired of it. I want to become a self-sufficient cat. I want to earn my own cat food!”

This is Mobu, a three-year-old female calico cat with white fur, gray-brown spots, pink toe beans, and an adorable face. Mobu no longer wants to be a pampered house cat. Determined to earn her keep, she sets her sights on working at a cat cafe to pay for her own meals.

Introverted and not fond of being petted, Mobu writes a deceptive resume, claiming she “enjoys interacting with humans.” Despite her obvious fear of strangers and her desire to nap, she bravely takes the first step toward independence.

International sensation Kathy Lam’s delightfully funny tale is perfect for animal lovers of all ages. Bursting with charm, laughter, and tender moments, this series invites readers to follow Mobu wherever she goes.
