A simple housecat named Simon encounters some bigger cats: Lion, Puma, Panther, Tiger, and Cheetah. Each of the big cats has something to say about Simon not being “cat” enough. According to them, he just doesn't measure up. He doesn't have Lion's mane or Cheetah's spots. He doesn't sleep in trees like Panther or climb mountains like Puma. He's small and fuzzy, not big and strong. But ultimately, Simon shows the big cats that he's just like them... only smaller.

A celebration of both individuality and community, I Am a Cat is a strong debut that shows we're all more alike than we think ... if we look closely enough.

一只名叫西蒙的普通家猫，遇到了一些更大的猫科动物：如狮子、美洲狮、黑豹、老虎和猎豹。每只大猫都说西蒙还不算是“猫”。根据他们的说法，他还没有达到标准。他没有狮子的鬃毛、猎豹的斑点，不像黑豹那样在树上睡觉，也不像美洲豹那样会爬山。他个子小，毛茸茸的，一点也不高大强壮。但最终，西蒙向大猫们展示了他和他们一样……只是小了一点。

这是一部强有力的处女作，赞美了个性与群体，表明如果我们仔细观察的话，会发现大家比想象中要相似。
