The Killer Cat's Christmas

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
