Jennifer grey, the author of Detective Tabby, and her cat.
Jennifer grey, the author of this book, is a person who knows and loves cats and is very good at writing comic adventure stories about animals. She used to be a trial lawyer for many years, and the anecdotes at work brought her rich creative inspiration, so she remolded the basic image of a tabby cat-this cat had an ear bitten off, four white claws and a scarf tied around its neck. At the same time, the author endows him with the characteristics of good judgment and analysis and strong sixth sense. Although the author lets the protagonist talk to the detective tabby cat and other animals, it is limited to the animal world, and it can't communicate with humans, and humans (except children) sometimes can't guess and understand its thoughts. The final image created by the author is both reasonable and distinctive, and is deeply loved by British children.

Before becoming a cat detective, Tabby used to be a hooligan for a while. The notorious magpie wants to hire tabby cats to steal jewelry in Litton town in exchange for its favorite sardines. The tabby cat was very excited and agreed to make the deal. Just as it succeeded again and again, it met the family of Inspector Chada who arrested the criminals. The two children of the inspector's family like tabby cat very much, which gives it the warmth of home; The tabby cat also fell in love with this family and formed an indissoluble bond with them. As a result, the story took a turn for the worse. Taibi decided to turn over a new leaf, and in turn arrested Magpie to help the detective solve the case. Arakus became a police cat in Scotland Yard, England, after the theft of serial jewels by magpies was solved.
After Tabby joined the police station, life was not as free as before. Detective Chad asked him to "keep his eyes open 24 hours a day, and holidays are no exception". This stumped the great cat detective. Its first reaction is: "Don't sleep? No food? Don't sit on the sofa and watch TV? "

I can't stop reading since I opened this book. "
Animals are creatures equal to human beings. Whether it is the ability to survive in a cruel natural environment, the noble feelings and excellent qualities shown in family and raising future generations, or the strong will and indomitable spirit of struggle shown in the face of danger, it is worthy of human respect and learning. In the story, Detective Chad is not so much his partner as his assistant. Detectives represent most human beings. They think that cats are incompetent, do not like cleanliness, and are evil by nature, so they can only survive by human beings. However, the fact is that whenever there is an emergency, this human policeman is useless and even helpful. It is tabby cats and children who know cats that play a major role in solving crimes and subduing criminals.
