A Birthday to Remember

The story revolves around Bobby, a boy who wanted nothing on his birthday but a kitten. So, on his fifth birthday, his parents gifted him a cute, tiny, fluffy kitten. Bobby was over the moon when he saw his dream come true.

From the moment they met, they became best friends. They played together, napped together, and explored the world side by side.

Basically, Bobby and Fluffy were inseparable.

When a Friend Goes Missing

But one day, something happened which made Bobby deeply hurt. His best friend went missing. Fluffy was just gone, somewhere Bobby had no idea about.

Suddenly, Bobby's world felt empty. He didn’t want to play, didn’t want to eat. All he wanted was to find his best friend. And so the search began!

Bobby searched for Fluffy everywhere: on the lawn, at the park, and at the neighbors', but Fluffy was nowhere to be found. He checked all the places they both used to go, but there was no sign of his beloved kitten.

Through this book, kids will learn about Bobby’s emotional feelings for his lost kitten. At this point, kids will know how it feels to lose someone they love and care about. It will also teach kids how to stay strong in times of grief.

This story is not just about losing a pet; it's also about friendship, love, and hope.

Why This Story Matters?

In today’s world, many kids suffer from depression, anxiety, and loneliness. But this book shows them that they are not alone. It shows that having a pet is a chance of saving oneself from all these mental health setbacks. Having a pet can make one’s life bright.

Doris James has written this book straight from her heart because she has been a victim of loneliness herself. In her childhood, she had no one who would love her. But she wants this generation to know that animals can be the best companions, too.

Inspired by Real Life

Author Doris James didn’t plan to write a children’s book. However, she had always loved writing. But life took her in a different direction.

She pursued her career as a nurse, a CNA, and a caregiver. But for years, her dream of being an author was put on hold.

Then one evening, everything changed.

When Doris came home from work and saw children playing in the street, she was taken back to her younger years—running track, reading, and writing.

Something stirred inside her. She felt the urge to write, but she didn’t know where to start.

So, she turned to her faith.

“I asked God to show me how to write a book for kids,” she said. The next morning, she woke up with a story in her heart. She wrote and wrote until it was done.

She named the boy Bobby and the kitten, Fluffy. And just like that, The Lost Kitten Named Fluffy was born.

Dream Fulfilled

For Doris, writing this book was her dream come true—and surprisingly, it healed her in ways she didn’t ever imagine.

Writing this book brought her back memories of her husband, who passed away in 2017. She misses him being her constant encouragement and motivation. It was he who motivated Doris to continue doing whatever she loved in her life.

Today, Doris is a proud first-time author. She smiles when she sees her name on the cover.
She hopes her story inspires others to follow their dreams, no matter their age.
