"I don't want to share"
"Top Cat" is king of the household until a striped kitten comes along. He soon learns that being a mentor is more fun than terrifying the kitten, and proceeds to teach the kitten all his own mischievous habits. Written in rhyme and cleverly illustrated, "Top Cat" is not only an enjoyable book for children to read, but provides the basis for parents to discuss issues like feelings and sharing, as well as what constitutes proper kitty conduct.
