Get inside the mind of a street-smart cat in this fun, beginning chapter book filled with black and white cartoon drawings. The cat, later named Oliver, knows the best places to find food and how to avoid getting caught by animal control. Oliver has friends—a rat, a dog, and another cat—but they all go home to their humans every night. Oliver is pretty sure he’s OK with this; anyway, he likes being “Mr. Independent.” However, when he smells something tasty coming from the house that a family has just moved into, Oliver decides to drop by…just for a little while. The “little human” girl falls immediately in love with him, so Oliver decides that if this arrangement is going to work, he will need to train the humans in the house. Does it work? Fans of funny animal stories like Stick Dog, Bad Kitty, and Diva and Flea will enjoy this book. For more, follow up with the sequel, My Pet Human Takes Center Stage.
