====Structure and genre==== 
 *I am not sure what you are getting at in "HarperCollins originally requested that Holmes write a "fantasy story on feral cats", but Holmes also added in human themes and issues into the book." I mean when someone treats animals as anthropomorphic, then they begin to create societies because they "are" human (hence "anthro"). I think this is part of the reason these books are being compared to Brian Jacques. I would suggest rereading the source and trying to figure out what they are actually getting at with this comment (or if it actually needs to be included or needs to be changed in how it is presented)
