KPE Episode 318: "The Killer Cat Strikes Back"

Brooke and Kayla from Room 17 present "The Killer Cat Strikes Back" by Anne Fine

This is the third book in the series about Tuffy the Killer Cat

Tuffy, the killer cat, knows what he likes. And he isn't loving the 'art' that Ellie's mum brings home from her new class. So what's a cat to do?

A scratch here just happens to shred a painting. A nudge there somehow slips a clay pot off a shelf.

Dad hopes a particularly hideous sculpture will be next, but Tuffy's having none of it.

The killer cat will go his own sweet way!
