Summary

Olive is a human, and Henry is her pet cat--although he's also a person, thanks to a magic shooting star. They do all the things best friends do, like share clothes, go to parties, and complain about their jobs. Who cares if Henry gets more compliments wearing Olive's clothes, or the party snacks are dead rats? Friends love each other no matter what. Olive wishes her black cat could be her best friend, and he magically becomes a cat boy, who speaks English and stands on two feet but is unfamiliar with human customs. After his transformation, Olive thinks her cat Henry shouldn’t be naked, so he puts on her clothes and continues to raid her closet throughout the story. Henry is adorable in dresses, skirts, and shorts; and his gender-bending sense of style mostly goes unremarked-upon in a lovely, normalizing way. He’s just a boy rocking cute dresses. Sometimes Henry is better at being human than Olive (he becomes friends with the popular girls) but other times Henry is utterly cat—gifting Olive a dead bird and shredding all the toilet paper.
