Does anyone recognize this children's book?

A teacher described it to me, but neither of us have been able to identify it -- a child explores a spooky house, room by room, and on every page, there is a cat somewhere. As the child goes into the final room, it turns out the spooky thing was a mouse!
Appreciate your help as we prepare our classrooms for Halloween.
Best answer: Here is a video of someone reading it aloud.

Best answer: Follow me Around the House is probably not what you are looking for, but it's similar and super cute.
A siamese cat is showing a puppy around the house and talking about the scary monsters in the cupboard or mysterious rattling in the closet. As you lift the flaps you see that it's mice or hedgehogs or squirrels. There are multiple flaps to lift on every page and the drawings are pretty. Read it many times with my kids.

Similar in plot, if not in tone, is the classic The Monster at the End of this Book
