I'm not quite certain about the title, but I remember reading a juvenile fantasy book where genies are required to tell new masters that they can only have 3 wishes, and what happens when an inexperienced genie forgets this. His first master is a cat. as a result, he is overeager when his second master is a human. The result: He wishes for as many wishes as there are stars in the sky.

There was a sequel, about his (second masters) son and a cursed sword that could not be sheathed once drawn.

The cover had a tomcat on it.

You wouldn't be thinking of Wishing Season, would you?
