Characters sometimes didn't get enough introduction, throwing me for a loop (I STILL don't know who the "Captain" is. Just thrown in there). I feel like a lot wasn't explained in the book itself; just sort of happens.
SPOILERS: Stanley Withers, a human recently fired from an ad agency, doesn't know his wife Jessica is a witch. She was raised by her aunt Persy to be "Venefica," an evil one, without her knowledge. His son Tommy has unknowingly inherited some of his mother's gifts. Sybil Harling, another witch pretending to be Tommy's teacher, tries to take him under her wing with her boss, "Thorny." She's also using the many-lived cat Rasputin as a spy to the Withers family. The narrator switches from a third-person omniscient of Stanley to a first-person account from Rasputin the cat. Chapters are usually opened with a quote from a witchy source- I can tell Mary Savage read a lot about it.
I'm glad the cat lived after all. The overall tone actually reminded me of Al Hine's "Bewitched" novel, witchy with random adult situations that seemed more placed for shock value than anything else.
