Guardians of Dawn: Zhara

I was so charmed by this and NOT ONLY because of the magic cat but magic cats do, of course, help. Logging onto GR and seeing the author's note about the circumstances of writing it during the pando and wanting something more simple and joyful (hence the Sailor Moon comp) and I get it. This book is super tropey and the characters are often adorably clueless. It reads like pretty young YA and we need that!! And we need more magic cats!!
