Gaelic translation of Judith Kerr's magical children's classic picture book about Mog the Forgetful Cat.  The Mog series has sold over 4 million copies.  

Mog is a very forgetful cat, forever getting in the way of her owners.  Her antics often result in cries of "Bother that cat!" However, one evening Mog's characteristic forgetfulness comes in useful when confronted by a burglar.

A classic tale for the under fives, beautifully brought to life by Judith Kerr's warm, funny and endearing illustrations.
