Diary of A Cat Lesson plan

I live in a very interesting part of Jerusalem.  We have lots of synagogues, a big market nearby and very creative people, (including myself of course) 


My downstairs neighbor Bella Yifrah used to be a computer programmer, but now she is an artist as well as a writer.  She is originally from Bukara.  She paints and writes books. 

I did her a favor and translated her book, A Diary of a Cat from Hebrew to English. It is available on Amazon:

Key Terms 
blind-  not being able to see 
irritating  - it bothers 
nerve - someone who does things that are annoying
arrogant - someone who puts himself above others


Questions
How does the cat feel at the beginning?
What does the cat get from her mother? 
Who is pushing her away from her mother?
How does she feel about him? 


Homework: Pretend that you are the mother cat.  Tell your two kittens what they need to know the first few days of life.
