(2) K-3 Mouse C.J. (short for Colby Jack) is worried when the Katz family (a ­family of cats) moves into the apartment he inhabits. After enticing smells bring him from his hole, he encounters young Kitty Katz, who enlists his aid with Hanukkah treats in the kitchen. A couple of false alarms later (“That’s not a mousetrap...It’s a Hanukkah menorah”; “We can’t eat mice...They’re not kosher!”), they all settle in for a holiday meal. Cartoony illustrations provide reassurance from the start that the mouse and Katzes will end up friends.
