The first instalment of [[''Mr Pusskins]] '' adventures met with a positive reception, the second tale continues to dress human family conflicts in the clothes of modern animal fable. That does sound rather serious, doesn't it? But we are talking a picture book for children here, and the story in ''Mr Pusskins and Little Whiskers'' is, possibly, more directly emotionally relevant to children's lives than the original one in which Mr Pusskins felt suffocated with his owner's love and longed for adventure (eventually walking out on her). Unless the children have daddies who did just that, obviously.
In the current volume, Emily surprises Mr Pusskins with a, yes, what but a kitten! The kitten is called Little Whiskers and, although presented by Emily as a fabulous surprise and being keen on lovely games; she proves to be rather a handful and not only constantly harasses poor Mr Pusskins but also ruins his special times, from dancing in front of the set during telly time to grabbing his food at meal times to waking him up at nap time. And Mr Pusskins always gets the blame, too! Things get seriously wrong when Mr Pusskins ends up in the alley after being blamed for one of Little Whiskers' worst transgressions. As it's a picture book for kids, though, all ends well and life becomes perfect again - for all three of them.
