My Cat is a Secret Agent

By: Daniel J. Mahoney

Narrated by: Amanda Stribling

In this laugh-out-loud audiobook that’s purr-fect for fans of Adam Rubin and James Marshall, a girl tries to convince her parents that their cat is really an undercover spy. But when things don't quite go as planned, hilarious hijinks and plenty of feline fun ensue. My Cat is a Secret Agent features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!


Samantha knows her cat, Walter, is anything but ordinary—he’s a secret agent with the very serious codename Kitty Pants. Unfortunately, no one else appreciates Walter’s superspy-ness. Samantha’s parents think he’s nothing more than your average pet. It’s up to Walter to convince them otherwise.

Operation Kitty Pants is a go. But will this undercover feline prove his impressive espionage skills battling foes, including a butt-sniffing pup, a wild-haired kitty, and a band of mischievous mice, or will he find his missions compromised? With Samantha’s help, perhaps Walter can show that there’s a bit of secret agent in all of us.

From Daniel J. Mahoney, the author-illustrator of We Don’t Eat Our Neighbors, My Cat Is a Secret Agent is a rollicking listen for pet lovers and pet-free families alike—ideal for storytime in the classroom or at home.

Critic reviews

“Mahoney incorporates Rotten Ralph-like visual loopiness from the very first spread of this offbeat picture book . . . Mahoney balances absurdity with heart: from deadpan narration to thin-lined, retro-inflected illustrations, every element serves the delightfully skewed logic of the family’s world.” —<i>Publisher Weekly </i>
