The second book of the series ”Why Some Cats are Rascals” begins with Rascal and his feline companions arriving at Sahara desert at the time of pharaohs – a dream place for cats, as their significance and social status rises to the one of semi-gods. However Rascal and his gang do not entirely fit the established ways of live and belief systems of the ancient Egypt, and they must run back to Catanada to escape being sacrificed at the altar of god Samuelusus.
