In Oi Cat! by Kes Gray, the cat faces a new dilemma as it's instructed to sit on gnats, in keeping with the quirky rhyme scheme rules established in previous books. With a mix of humour and wordplay, the book creates a delightful tale where the animals must follow arbitrary yet hilarious seating arrangements. The cat's struggle to fit into this rule-filled world is both entertaining and charming for young readers.
