The series started with "Mog the Forgetful Cat" and despite apparently dying in "Goodbye, Mog", there were two subsequent books, "Mog's Christmas Calamity" (a charity book tying in to a Sainsbury's ad campaign) and Mog's Birthday (published after Kerr's own death). Mog was based off the author's own cat, who was also called Mog. Another quirk Mog has is she likes eggs and has one every day for breakfast. Debbie seems to be the one who's most close to Mog, and Mog even has the unexplained ability to locate Debbie with her mind. Mr (and to a lesser extent, Mrs) Thomas sometimes blame her for these mishaps and refer to her as "that cat", but the children (especially Debbie) are quick to spring to Mog's defense. She is also a bit forgetful, leading her into tricky situations. Mog is a bit fearful and can be a bit gloomy when sad, but she is a very happy-go-lucky cat. The books focus on a cat named Mog who lives with a family called the Thomases, who consist of a mother, father and two children: Debbie and Nicky. Mog is a series of children's books by the British author Judith Kerr.
