Out and About is perfect for fans of The Secret Lives of Pets. In this silly book, the author imagines all the perfectly quirky places cats might end up, like at the grocery store, movie theater, yoga, etc. However, in this version, the cats are not merely observers but active participants. Two funny scenes are a space cat and one in the urinal. The illustrations have a sparseness about them that helps the text and the underlying silliness to come through with a certain gravitas. Overall, this book is a fun read for cat lovers
