About the plot: The cat’s names varied in the story. We can follow the events of the story and the cat’s visits to different neighbours, and pay attention to its different names. We can ask our child: Why, in your opinion, did the cat stay in the elderly lady’s house? What did it find there? How did it help her deal with loneliness?

About feelings: We can browse the story with our child and talk about the feelings of the neighbours and the cat. How did they change in the story? And what caused that?

About social relationships: We can ask our child: What changed in the cat’s neighbourhood? How was the relationship between neighbours at the beginning of the story and at the end? We can share with our child things we do with neighbours and relatives on different occasions, such as: eating together, and going on trips.
What activity can we do with the participation of neighbours to enhance the good relationship with them?

With Grandparents: We can spend enjoyable time with grandparents, ask about them and check on them, and maybe share the story with them and ask them: What do you need?

With neighbours: We can initiate an activity with neighbours, such as eating together,or cleaning the neighbourhoodand planting flowers.

We take care of neighbourhood cats: We can provide them with water and food in containers that we can make from used cans.

We can examine the drawings and try to discover the characteristics of each family in the neighbourhood, give them different names, and get to know their diverse cultures as evidenced by their clothes. We can also search for information related to those cultures.

We can search in our home library for stories about cats, such as the story “The Cat Zarif and his Magic Glasses” from the Lantern Library, and others.
