That Furball Puppy and Me

By Carol Wallace and Bill Wallace

Here I am, a self-respecting kitten just trying to survive in a rat-eat-cat world, when the humans in my life start acting crazy. Something about the kids, and grandkids, coming to visit for Christmas. I would have run away had I known what that meant! Mama accusing me of tearing up the presents. Noisy voices and grabby little hands. I tell you, it's a dog's world. Bite my tongue! If the grandkids are bad, they're nothing compared to the gift the kids gave Mama for Christmas...a puppy!

Reviews for That Furball Puppy and Me

[ropppop · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book is an interesting way of knowing how and what a cat feels like from the inside. The narrator is the cat called Gray. Christmas is a very special time for humans but for cats it is a little different. So much action, new things decorating the house, presents being rapped up and ribbon every where. Strangers come into the house and move in. To the cat - they are loud. Because it is Christmas time, new things such as presents are brought or given to each other. The gift that changed the cat's life was given to Mama (the cat's owner.) It turned out to be a puppy. To live in the same house with a Scottish terrior. To the cat it is a white and fuzzy and ugly as could be. It rans around and sleeps alot but somewhere inside the cat's heart it feels responsible for the wiggly, little beast. The cat feels inside that this is his house and he needs to control and put into order the actions and movements of this puppy. He will try to do the best that he came because after all, it is his house. It is interesting to have a cat tell the story. To look at a few pictures throughout the book and to realize what a cat feels. To change his life and to accept another member into the family is a major part of a cat's life. The words are simple words but the words come from the cat. Make sure that when the reader begins on page one - they are the cat. Little ears, long tail, and because you are the cat - meow.

It is now winter and Grey continues to watch for the bird, Flea, to return but knows that he must wait until winter is over. Something strange is happening around the house and he hears the word 'grandkids' repeated often. Soon he founds out what that means and Grey experiences his first Christmas which has it's good points and it's bad points. But the worst thing of all is when the Mama opens her Christmas present and out pops a puppy. Grey is no longer the smallest pet in the house and somebody else is getting his tummy rubs. Grey is jealous and sets out to get the puppy out of the house. We enjoyed this second in the series. Not as much as the first but still a cute, fun story. The Wallace's books are a joy to read aloud and are wholesome stories to be enjoyed by all ages. We look forward to seeing Flea come back in the next book.
