Dear Forum members (and fellow cat lovers),
The book I am trying to find I read about 15 years ago in my elementary school's library. It looked to have been published some time before that though. There was no dust-jacket and it had a cloth binding. It was a chlidren's book with many illustrations (not complicated, full-colour ones but more like line-drawings and in a few colours) and about 40 pages.
The story was about a cat who went with her master to help guard an art gallery. While he was performing his job she would make sure that no mice would get at the paintings or nibble on the velvet curtains. There was a page in it where she indicated that she always slept with one eye open to watch for the mice and an illustartion of her curled up on the floor to match. I believe that the cat and master were French. I do not remember their names but I believe the master's was Henri/Henry. I seem to remember the cat's as something that sounded like a permutation of Monet like Moinette, Moiunette, Missonette, etc.
If anyone can provide me information leading to the discovery of the title/author of the book I will offer a reward of 25USD to their favourite charity.
Thank you for your time and help in the matter. It is a great story and would mean quite a lot to me.
Regards,
DML
