This was a pretty weird book. I liked how this time the pictures were in colour, I thought that was nice. I guess the story line was alright, it was really cheesy and carefree at times.
It's a sequel to the 'Paw Thing' and is still about the cat that ate a radio and pooped it out (hence the name). This time (in this series of exciting events) the cat is taken (like looked after)by the boy. The owner of the fried chicken shop has a pretty bad memory and when he finds out that the cat can read, so he calls the police officer to take the cat from the boy. The cat actually hates the owner of fried chicken shop so he refuses to go with him and in the end, the owner of the shop makes a deal with the boy. (There is a reading competition against the cat and this other dog that can read whose extremely famous!) If the cat wins, the boy can get $500 and the cat. So the cat wins and the owner forgets the deal and everyone is like 'whoa'. Plot twist, the cat can also write and writes a message about how mean the shop keeper is and how he wants to be with boy. It also says that he peed in the wine (The shopkeeper drinks a lot of wine!)
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a short tale and isn't really looking to read such an intense book. Its very simple and you should read it if you have read the previous one (depending if you liked it).

Second of the four book SIngenpoo series about the cat and all the adventures and hijinks involved that it seems to get up to. Quite humorous in parts, and very easy to read.
