Nylah the cat is making her usual visits to the homes in her street, but something is very different today . . .
Families are creating decorations or making food, some are trying on new clothes or decorating their hands with henna. Everyone is very busy, and they don't seem to want her help either! But why does nobody have any time for Nylah? Finally, all is revealed as they come together for a big Eid celebration, where everyone is welcome - especially Nylah!
