Pet Cat on a Hunt

About the Book

A cat named Ginger preys upon two parakeets, whose cage sits atop a dresser, simply out of jealousy. She thinks the family is paying more attention to them than to her. Her chance to get even with the birds comes when she jumps on a chair leaning on the dresser, and takes a swipe at their cage, sending it crashing thunderously to the floor. The noise brings Mrs. Guzmán, who threatens Ginger with sending her to the Animal Haven Home if she does it again. The feud continues until a strange turn of events occurs at the end of the story that surprises the pets as well as the Guzmán family. Read the story to find out how their feud turns out.
