I'm pretty sure this book marked the end of my reading the Warriors series. I found the writing just a tiny bit too elementary for true enjoyment, and the subject matter slightly distasteful. I was able to suspend my disbelief long enough to get through this third book, but my thoughts toward cats tend too much toward the pragmatic to love these stories. I think maybe when I was younger I would have enjoyed more the tales of a safe, protected kitten who chooses a life of dangerous freedom over the surety of long life and food every day.
