This book was born in a completely unexpected way. Usually the writer writes the text, gives it to the artist. He thinks for a long time, and then draws pictures. In our case, the artist and writer changed roles from the very beginning. All cats from the artist Alexei Dolotov have long been painted. And it was not the artist who had to think about this book for a long time, but the writer. St. Petersburg children's poet Igor Shevchuk figured out how to seat these sympathizers according to his poems. Well, for those who did not have enough poetry, they had to compose new ones.
