This is the story of a little human called Lily who wants a dog, but her mother says they are too much trouble (she forgot stinky and annoying...but maybe that was edited out of the American edition). So Lily is lucky enough to get a kitty (which she lazily just calls Kitty, sigh).
She feeds Kitty...
She leaves Kitty alone in the livingroom while she cleans the kitchen...and you can guess what happens. That room is destroyed (by the tiger, whose tail is in plain sight!) By dinner time things had gotten out of hand...she thought he had shed fur everywhere, terrorized the goldfish, eaten her sausage and broken the cat door...not to mention doing something unmentionable to the rug...
Then a little yappy dog comes through the fence and scares Lily, and Kitty saves her!
I like this book quite a lot...though I think Daddy Tim gushed a bit too much about how cute the pictures were. He was especially fond of Kitty peeping out of a cushion in the livingroom picture...and said this looks like baby Banjo eating
Today's tip for Cat Children of Human People (CaCHuPs): Blame the tiger.
