In the labyrinthine alleys and ruins of Nizamuddin, an old neighbourhood in Delhi, India, lives a small band of cats. Miao, the clan elder, a wise, grave Siamese; Katar, loved by his followers and feared by his enemies; Hulo, the great warrior tom; Beraal, the beautiful queen, swift and deadly when challenged; Southpaw, the kitten whose curiosity can always be counted on to get him into trouble ... Unfettered and wild, these and the other members of the tribe fear no one, go where they will, and do as they please. Until one day, a terrified orange-coloured kitten with monsoon green eyes and remarkable powers lands in their midst--the first in a series of extraordinary events that threatens to annihilate them and everything they hold dear.

3.5 stars for this one. The first ~half was setting the mood and story, and I found it would get a bit tedious at times. The second half towards the battle of the kitties was much more engaging and interesting. I liked all the main characters - they were distinct enough, each with a characteristic personality, agenda and motivations. The descriptions of their little mannerisms were so cute to read! I was so sad with Miao's death , but every battle has its sacrifices unfortunately :(
My only quibble with this book was the frequent mentions about cats enjoying drinking milk (usually given to them as a treat by the bigfeet). Cats cannot digest lactose and they should generally stay away from dairy! This was a public service announcement.
