So hang me. I killed the bird. For pity's sake, I'm a cat. It's
practically my job to go creeping around the garden after sweet
little eensy-weensy birdy-pies. . . . " Tuffy, the cat of the
title, enjoys the funeral his owner Ellie and her parents hold for
the bird the next day. This doesn't stop him from bringing a dead
mouse to them the following day. Then he goes much too far, or so
his family thinks, when he drags in Thumper the rabbit from next
door. Ellie and the family spiff up the corpse and put it back in
the cage only to find Thumper had died of natural causes, rather
than at the claws of Tuffy. Published in Britain in 1994, Fine's
take on the urban legend dubbed "The Hare Dryer" is made all the
more fun by giving the telling of the tale to the supposed
perpetrator. Cox's cartoon illustrations, complete with talk
balloons, add to the wicked humor. Readers will hope for an
American release of the sequel, Return of the Killer Cat. (Fiction.
7-10) (Kirkus Reviews)
