Summary

"Come Back, Cat!" is a short children's story by Bookdash that captures the hilariously unpredictable nature of cats. A child chases their mischievous cat from basket to windowsill, outside and back again, as the curious creature ignores every plea to stay put. With simple, repetitive language and a playful sense of tension in each new escape, the story builds through a series of small misadventures before a quiet, cosy ending finally brings cat and child together again.
