• Book #2 - The Cat Barked? by Lydia Monks
• Stand up activity - My Little Kitty (action rhyme I found somewhere)

Here comes my little cat
With a pitter, patter, pat, pat, pat
First she stretches from here to there
Then she jumps up into the air
Gently she lands on my lap
And settles down for a nice long nap

• Flannelboard/Group activity - Bought Me a Cat (traditional, song from Little Songs for Little Me by Nancy Stewart)
