'Okay, okay. So slap my teensy little paws. I messed up - big time.'Tuffy can't wait for Ellie and the family to go away on holiday. He and the gang plan to ignore the grumpy new cat-sitter, and run wild all night. But could that furry bundle, suddenly flying through the air, put a stop to all the fun?

'Okay, okay. So stick my head in a holly bush.'Tuffy knows what he likes. And he doesn't like the 'art' that Ellie's mum brings home from her new classes. So what's a cat to do?A few scratches here just happen to shred a painting. A nudge there somehow slips a vase off a shelf. Dad hope a horribly lumpy clay pot will be next, but Tuffy's having none of it. The killer cat will go his own sweet way!

Okay, okay. So spank my furry little bum. I held a party.It was my birthday. How was I supposed to know it wouldn't be the only party around town on that dark and dreary Halloween night?So things ended up in a bit of a mess. (Well, more than a mess, really. A complete disaster.) But it was not my fault so don't blame me . . .

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?Anne Fine has written numerous highly acclaimed and prize-winning books for children and adults.
