Written by South African's youngest (9 year old), 2016 Award Winning Author for Best Early Childhood Development Publication for 2015, this book is about two cats who are cousins. It portrays the common challenges of different socio-economics, academic and religious backgrounds in which the two survived. Stacey's book portrays the differences in geographical locations that the two went through on a daily basis and how this affected their daily lives. Stacey's book also depicts that even though the cats come from the same family, they are bound to have differences due to who they are. The constant fights between the two are real reflections of daily lives. However just like in real (human) life, fights are a vital spice of life that do not also last forever. To Stacey, "Life is not a bed of hatred. You grow better when you fight to spread love and have fun in a child's way". Stacey Fru is a bubbly 8 year old South African girl whose love for reading and writing inspired her love for creative writing. Her observance in life is exposed in "Smelly Cats". Stacey who is a Grade 3 learner at Sacred Heart College - Observatory in Johannesburg, finished writing Smelly Cats two (2) weeks before she turned 8. Stacey's parents did not take her seriously even after they read the book until a professional editor gave them reasons to trust this copy and to help her publish it.
