One thing that makes The Rabbi's Cat such a wonderful book is the cat. I just love his personality and how arrogant he is. He acts just like how an actual cat would act and some of the things he says are so funny and they are things that I think a cat would actually say if it could actually talk. I had a cat growing up and the cat in this book reminds me so much of him.
    One of my favorite parts of the book is towards the beginning when the cat says how the rabbi doesn't bother him when he does things and the pictures show him running around on the table knocking everything off and making a mess. Then there's a picture of the rabbi sitting at the table not really looking upset but just like he's excepted the fact that the cat is messing up his papers. I think this is probably because the cat does it all the time. I also like how curious the cat is about everything. He's always questioning the rabbi about things and wanting to learn more about Judaism. He even follows the rabbis students around to see where they go.
    I also like the way the cat is drawn even though it's not very realistic. He's so cute with his big ears and bright green eyes. Probably my favorite picture is the one on the title page for the chapter called The Bar Mitzvah. He's peaking out from between some books looking like his up to something that's not going to make the rabbi too happy.
