I always feel bad rating these books with less than two stars, and maybe this one deserves 2.5.
But, to me, it didn't feel like reading about a cat but about a person (especially since Alfie got a crush on another cat), which ruined it a bit for me. Although the rest of the story was kinda cute.

It's a really cute premise, and the idea of telling a story about a bunch of humans from a cat's perspective is both interesting and charming. Unfortunately, I felt like the dialogue had a tendency to be a bit stilted, and the cat romance plot wasn't really needed. Definitely had potential, but didn't live up to it. Still a fun quick read if you enjoy cute slice of life.

Considering how much I loved Alfie the Doorstep Cat, I was surprised by this book. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I didn't think this book was as good as the first. It felt slightly rushed, at least more so than the first book? The conflict of the new family spent a good portion of the book being built up and then it was all resolved really quickly, too quickly for my tastes.
The romance both amused and annoyed me. I could understand Tiger's frustration, Alfie seemed to be only giving Snowball the benefit of the doubt because he fancied her. Although him getting stuck up a tree was really funny.
Tiger getting a bigger part, Alfie getting stuck up the tree, going to visit one of the families from the first book and Alfie going to the kid's school were the good parts of the book. And it was easy to read, like the first book.
I have to give this three stars. I don't regret reading this but I definitely think it lacked something that the first book had.

El libro me ha gustado mucho pero el primer libro me gustó mucho más. Esta vez Alfie interactúa más con otros gatos vecinos y se enamora de la recién llegada Snowball. Una serie de aventuras con momentos dramáticos y momentos tiernos que hace querer más a Alfie, dejando que se quede en nuestro recuerdo como ese dulce gatete que ojalá alguna vez tuviéramos la oportunidad de conocer.
Lectura fácil y que engancha, espero poder leer más de Rachel Wells (ojalá más sobre Alfie 🐈). Muy recomendable.
