I very vaguely remember a point where Stark says the whole earth is like that, and that even off-earth colonies were using the neighborhood system.

I didn't mind the ending... I thought the whole use of Jeamland throughout the book was already bringing in a "fantasitic" element, so I didn't feel the stuff at the end really turned into genre-jumping.

The jump, to me, happened about halfway into the book when Jeamland was introduced. Before that point, only the behavior of cats was bordering on the fantastic - then again, cats are strange in real life anyway.
You're right this book is not a case of really serious genre-jumping, but it still had a big change halfway through. The book took a turn I wasn't too interested in. I still give the book high marks because it was good on so many other points.
