Cat Show Queen: Juliet, Nearly a Vet

Juliet, Nearly a Vet #10

by Rebecca Johnson, Kyla May (Illustrator)

Hi! I'm Juliet. I'm ten years old. And I'm nearly a vet! There's a cat show in town and some of the cats are going to board at Mum's vet clinic. Chelsea and I can't wait to see all the different types of cats. The owners have special techniques for preparing their pets for the show – and some are very fussy. When there's a cat-astrophe, it's lucky that my best friend is almost a world-famous animal trainer and groomer!

I loved how Princess Chelsea's cat won the prize for the cat show even though she didn't enter. It was funny.

There’s a cat show and Juliet’s mum had to check that all the cats were healthy. A cat called Cleopatra got lost and Chelsea’s mum found her under an oil truck. Cleopatra ended up winning!
