What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The primary emotional challenge is the children's disappointment upon learning they cannot adopt the cat. The resolution is hopeful and realistic: they can't own him, but they can become his official friends and visit him anytime. The idea of the cat being a ghost is introduced but is treated as a fun, mysterious possibility rather than a scary one, and it is resolved logically.
