Eric Carle's Have you seen my cat?

I do not understand the ending of this book.  Can anyone help me out?  DD loves it but I am left confused each time we read it! LOL

  • I thought the same thing! Which one is his cat? Why in the world are there so many cats? Cora loves this book, so we read it often. I would love someone's interpretation of the ending, though :)

  • Isn't the cat off somewhere, hiding, having her babies?  That's what I thought!

  • Hmm. That makes sense. They all looked like big cats to me, but I can see the kitten theory.
  • Yeah, it's a big mama cat with all her babies around her...I think.

    LOL, really?  At least this answer provides some sort of closure, but i TOTALLY wouldn't have ever thought that.  There are a bunch of wild cats on that last page, right?  A huge domestic cat and then small wild ones.  Hmmm.   

  • he's traveling around the world looking for his long lost cat. Well come to find out, she ran off to have her kittens. We have this out from the library right now and there is a description on one of the covers of what is actually going on.
  • so funny you post this bc I was wondering if it was just me.  When we get to the end, I am always confused!! Now I get it  Wink

  • I guess I get it now too.  Thanks to those who explained it.  Now, I guess he problem is that I don't think I like the ending. =)

    I take Ds's hand and count all the babies if you need something extra to do with it :)
