野貓軍團的故事雖然簡單，卻包含起承轉合的完整故事情節。起：偷看麵包製作過程，引起動機→承：半夜潛入工廠，模仿汪汪做麵包→轉：發粉放太多，導致工廠爆炸→合：受到處罰，幫忙賣麵包及重建工廠；這樣的內容既可以滿足能夠理解因果關係的孩子，也能滿足樂於觀察畫面細節的小小孩。作者表示，她花了很多精神在展現小貓的表情，因為只要稍微有些差距，看起來就不可愛了；還有對於麵包，她也下了不少功夫，除了要把麵包畫的看起來很好吃，在麵包店裡的出現的麵包，都是作者小時候（昭和時期）喜歡的，跟現在相較之下，明顯較為樸實。看完這個故事，有沒有讓你跟作者一樣，愈畫（看）肚子愈餓，愈想吃麵包了呢？

這些道理雋永、深刻而且直指人心，當我們為現實人生的困境焦慮或迷惑，渴望獲得些許指引或救贖，先知流水般優美的言語便緩緩引領每個靈魂步向真理國度，不但讓心靈覓得依歸，其中蘊含的哲理也讓我們堅定了信念和勇氣。
