Super sweet but not saccharine due to how grounded the story and illustrations are in believable, true-to-life cat and bunny behaviors -- feels like the author could have drawn it straight from real life. Enough tension to keep interest up (just how will Oliver the cat's predatory impulses play out when he finally gets to encounter trusting bunny Marshmallow unsupervised?), but not too intense for even very young listeners.
