Eric Carle's simple, repetitive text and distinctive cut-paper illustrations make this modern classic about a boy looking for his lost cat a book to treasure.

A little boy worries about his missing cat and travels to different places in search of his pet. The boy encounters numerous feline counterparts as he searches, including lions, leopards, and tigers. Again and again, the boy says, "This is not my cat," until the last page when he finds his missing petβ€”and receives a wonderful surprise!
