Product Information

Judith Kerr’s Mog the Forgetful Cat is a delightful production, skilfully created with catchy songs, vibrant performances and fulfils the essence of the original material. The author based her illustrations of the house in which Mog the Cat family reside in her own family home in Barnes, and the two children in this series were named after the middle names of her daughter and son, Tacy and Matthew. Additionally, the family name Thomas is her husband’s first name upon which the appearance of Mr. Thomas was based. In 2015, Mog the Cat returned as a CGI character for an advertisement for supermarket Sainsbury. In Mog’s Christmas Calamity, Mog by a chance starts a fire after experiencing a nightmare, but she can alert the fire department –after she calls 999 while scrabbling across the phone. Subsequently, she is hailed as a hero for saving her owner is later given an egg as a treat. In the advert, Kerr appears as a neighbor of Thomas’. If in “Tiger” Kerr describes miscommunication from the human perspective, the “Mog” books examine it from that of the animal. For Kerr, the chief problem with being a cat is that your needs often come up against those of an uncomprehending or unwilling world. Often, however, the books rely on such misapprehension not just for their animating conflict but also for their resolution. When a burglar steals into the house in “Mog the Forgetful Cat,” Mog, still sitting in the garden, meows “her biggest meow, very sudden and very, very loud,” hoping that the burglar will let her in through the kitchen window, as the family sometimes does. (“Perhaps he will give me my supper.”) The burglar, alarmed, drops his bag, waking the Thomases, who call the police. After the robber is caught, Mog, no longer a bothersome cat, is called “remarkable” by a policeman, awarded a medal, and given an egg for breakfast.

Join Mog and the Thomas family, on a journey through one year in the life of a really remarkable cat, as she catches a burglar, gatecrashes a cat show, goes to the V.E.T. and gets to eat lots and lots of eggs. Everyone’s favourite cat might be forgetful, but she certainly has a lot of adventures, and she loves her family very much.

She lived with a family called Thomas. Mog was nice but not very clever. She didn’t understand a lot of things. A lot of other things she forgot. She was a very forgetful cat.” So begins Judith Kerr’s picture book “ Mog the Forgetful Cat,” published in England in 1970. Though this was only the first of Kerr’s “Mog” volumes—which ended up numbering more than a dozen by the time the last of the bunch, “ Goodbye Mog,” came out, in 2002—these opening lines establish the series’ rhythm and sensibility. Kerr, who died in May, at the age of ninety-five, having published more than thirty much beloved books in the course of her career, once said that she tried never to use more than two hundred and fifty words in any of her books, so that young children could follow along. But it was, perhaps, exactly this limitation that heightened her ability to pinpoint, with a beautiful specificity, the character of her feline protagonist. Just like Mog—a stout, friendly tabby with a round face, a white bib, and white paws, who gets into a variety of small domestic scrapes because of her limited grasp of the world around her—Kerr’s language is simple and a little plodding. The sentences are short and of consistent length—not unlike the padded footfalls of a rotund cat—and, in their occasional repetitiveness, mimic a feline’s clumsy thinking. Look out for cats as you go out and about. What are they doing, do any look like Mog or behave like her?

She looks like some kind of cat-bunny hybrid to me, but Syd was more than pleased with the end result, and super proud of her Mog from Meg and Mog costume! I put her hair in 2 buns, right behind her cat ears. In the end, I figured that if she took off her headband, she would still have cat ears, then!
