When his family leaves on vacation, Tuffy, the feline of the title,
finds himself left with the Vicar. Tuffy's quite annoyed by the
Vicar's insistence that all of yesterday's food be finished before
more is set out, so he sneaks out to forage with his chums. When
the Vicar gives chase, Tuffy climbs a tree and gets stuck. The
Vicar's overzealous attempts to get Tuffy down result in a short
flight over the hedge. Tuffy drops into the doll bassinet of young
Melanie who'd been praying for a cat. Thinking Tuffy's the answer
to her prayers, she names him Janet, dresses him in doll jammies
and feeds him cream and tuna. When his chums taunt him about his
increased girth, the resulting cat fight shreds the jammies.
Melanie thinks Tuffy has eaten her poor Janet. Just in time,
Tuffy's family returns, saving him from the Vicar's ire. Cox's
drawings are again an asset to this wry and dry early chapter book,
a sequel to Diary of a Killer Cat (2006). Some Briticisms might
need explaining, but Tuffy's gently snarky, self-centered narration
will easily win him new fans. (Fiction. 7-10) (Kirkus Reviews)
'Okay, okay. So slap my teensy little paws. I messed up - big
time.' Tuffy can't wait for Ellie and the family to go away on
holiday. He and the gang plan to ignore the grumpy new cat-sitter,
and run wild all night. But could that furry bundle, suddenly
flying through the air, put a stop to all the fun?
