Synopsis (from the cover): Welcome to the neighborhood, Chi and family! Now in her new residence, Chi will be introduced to many friends of the furry and feathery kind. With so many fresh smells to investigate, endless adventures await. So settle in, because here pets will never be chased...unless they are chasing each other.

My thoughts:

 Finally! A place for the Yamadas and Chi. Where they can live in peace and not worry about the building management finding out about Chi. Poor Chi has no idea what is going on and the move is hard on her. If you have ever moved an animal it is tough. I have moved my cat twice. She handled the second move better than the first, but it was traumatic for her both times. Once Chi realizes she is in a new home, she starts rubbing against everything- making it her's. In this new pet-friendly apartment Chi makes meets new animals and tries to make new friends, even if she isn't too fond of the dog next door. My favorite stories in this volume were the hide and seek story and when Mr. Yamada tries clipping Chi's claws. Again, humor abounds in the stories and the artwork is precious.
