Booklist Review: "It's the end of the school year, and Katie's well-to-do friends are excited to be leaving for summer camp. Although her friends' parents offer to pay her way, Katie decides to earn the money for camp herself by doing odd jobs. After crashing and burning at carrying groceries and watering plants, Katie finds the perfect job, cat sitting her upstairs neighbor's 217 cats. With talents ranging far beyond the usual hissing and scratching, these cats are experts in everything from mixed martial arts to 3-D rendering. What is up with these amazing cats, and how are they connected to the notorious super villain The Mousetress? The team behind the Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye series has created a believable world in which families struggle, friendships change, and superheroes have Yelp ratings. Sight gags, sly humor, pop-culture references, and a dollop of animal-rights activism combine to make Katie's story a fun one. Readers will pore over the illustrations of the various cats and their specialties while waiting for the planned sequel to be released."

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Neko Atsume meets The Tick in this laugh-out-loud funny, well-paced series starter from the creators of the Guinea Pig, Pet Shop Private Eye series. Katie Spera, a preteen white New Yorker with a teal streak in her hair, longs to attend summer camp with her friends. Her single mother can't afford it, though, so Katie takes a job cat-sitting for Madeline Lang, a stylish Black woman who lives in their building. If $30 an hour seems like an excellent rate, Katie is surprised to learn that Ms. Lang has 217 cats. They're "evil"--tearing the place apart every night, ordering pizzas, and stealing furniture--and they're capable: each has a specialty, among them computer hacking, lock picking, soap opera expertise, and talent scouting. Meanwhile, as "supervillain" Mousetress strikes city businesses, the city pins its hopes on self-absorbed superhero Eastern Screech. Katie starts to suspect that Ms. Lang may be Mousetress, and realizes that her deeds have a specific target. Venable develops her themes--appearances can be deceiving, no one is all good or bad--while opening the door for further developments down the line. Yue's expressive cartoons complement this enchanting story, the first in a series with a promising cast of characters--feline and otherwise. Ages 8--12. (Jan.)"
