This book follows an elderly orange house cat named Linney and her family (two adult humans and a preschooler). The book has a cozy feel that any animal lover or pet owner can relate to, especially Linney's quirks (causing chaos) and "woes" (being vocal). The book feels fast-paced because each story is only a few pages long. There are no chapters, but each story has a different color scheme from the one before it. 
I would recommended this book to anyone who loves cozy, slice of life cat stories, but it should be noted that this wonderfully silly elderly cat does not live forever.
