Moby and Family

Children's fiction, roughly ages 8-11, featuring a cat called Moby as the main character. Moby is a cat who is a pet to a loving family. Being who he is, everything is provided for him. Yet for all for the care, protection and affection he receives from his family, he tends to feel a little sad as a result of never being able to understand them, and what they say. Moby's world is a small one, but he has come to realise that he has less and less to gain from it. In fact, it is not long before he ends up caring about everyone around him on a whole new level. A series of vaguely defined events starts to have negative implications on the family's members. The cat senses it - even if they don't. The worried cat vows to do something before it's too late...
