A fun story about two new friends, a young boy and a sweet and cuddly cat, who is slowly destroying his bedroom.

I Don't Have a Cat follows a young boy and a cat through his day. He repeats throughout the story that he doesn't have a cat. Instead of a cat, he says he has a food critic, a homework helper, and a paper shredder. In the end we discover the cat is a lost cat that he's hoping to keep. But will his parents let him keep it?

Look for the companion book, I Don't Have a Dog.
