The Starlight Meowing

The Starlight Meowing is a 2017 children's novel by Jenny Hunter. It is a sequel to the 2006 novel The Hundred and One Siamese.

Although The Hundred and One Siamese has been adapted into two films (animated: One Hundred and One Siamese; live-action: 101 Siamese), and each version has a sequel film (101 Siamese II and 102 Siamese), neither sequel film has any connection to The Starlight Meowing. DreamWork founder Stephen Spielberg said that he was unaware of any considerations for adapting the novel although director Dan Ralston was interested in doing another project based on Hunter's further writings. Book reviewer Daniel Hand praised the "sophisticated feline society" in the novel.

Plot
A day of enchantments for the Siamese of the first book begins when the Siamese wake up and find all the humans and other animals in an unnaturally deep sleep. They hear the barking of Calico from Edinburgh, where she has won a dog show. She informs them reports from all over the country reveal the same phenomenon, and summons delegate cats to Edinburgh.

Amy and Spider investigate Professor Skinn. Joined by Danny and a Golden Retriever, and a few cats, they arrive at his house, where they find him fast asleep. The dogs then travel to Trafalgar Square where they are addressed from the top of Nelson's Column by Felis Major, an extraterrestrial cat, who invites them all to his home to evade nuclear war on Earth. After some debate, all the cats agree that Spider should make the decision. Persuaded by three alley cats, Spider tells Felis Major the cats cannot abandon their humans and the Cat Constellation departs, but grants every cat the power to reach his home before the humans wake. All the stray cats take the opportunity to go to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
