Scruffy Old Cat

Pop Hooper's Perfect Pets

by Kyle Mewburn, Heath McKenzie (Illustrator)

Sardine was the ugliest cat Lily had ever seen—his tail was just a stump and his coat was a mess of brown blotches and grey speckles. This is not the sweet kitten she had in mind

 

If only Lily could find a perfect kitten, she wouldn't be lonely any more. So when Pop Hooper gives her a smelly, scruffy cat to take care of for a night she is horrified. Surely everyone will laugh at her now—won't they?
