Synopsis

The Killer Cat is back for Christmas! A much-loved classic by Anne Fine.

So go on, ask me. 'Dear, dear Tuffy. Why was your Christmas so horrible?'

Well. I couldn't climb the tree.
I couldn't touch the dangly decorations.

And Ellie made me part of her sing-along Christmas performance.
Horrible, horrible, horrible!

But I showed them. I was Tuffy the Acting Cat, superstar. How was I supposed to know things would get so . . . messy?

About this title

Review:

Hilarious (Guardian)

A brilliant tale of catastrophe and pussy pandemonium (Daily Telegraph)

From the Back Cover:

'Dear, dear Tuffy. Why was your Christmas so horrible?'

Tuffy isn't allowed to climb the tree and he's supposed to star in Ellie's silly Christmas show.

Horrible, horrible, horrible!

And, thanks to Mr Grumpy, somehow Tuffy ends up in a cupboard. Just two big staring eyes in the dark, hiding from everyone.

Christmas is meant to be so merry. But this year, at Tuffy's house, it all ends up a giant great mess . . .

'Hilarious' - Guardian
