A kitten attempts to approach an older cat while she is napping in each of her favorite spots. Every time the kitten draws near, the older cat flees, with various consequences for the kitten. A laundry basket tips over on the kitten, he ends up under the bathtub faucet with water pouring on top of his head, etc. The story is told in pictures without words—a good book for a toddler. The final picture reveals what the kitten has intended to do all along, if ever he has the opportunity to reach Portulacca while she is still asleep.
