That Cat Can't Stay

Summary

Cats. You either love ' em or hate ' em. But what happens when Mom loves cats and Dad detests them? In That Cat Can' t Stay, Mom keeps adopting stray cats while Dad' s objections get more and more absurd: “ Mom found a little calico. / Dad said, That thing has got to go. There' s no use begging. Don' t say please. / I don' t like cats. They scratch my knees. They carry fleas. They make me sneeze. / They' re always getting stuck in trees. I want it gone. Send it away. / I' m telling you, that cat can' t stay.” Clever Mom convinces Dad to let each cat stay for a short time, and once they' re comfy in the house, they never leave. One stray, then two, then three, and Dad is at his wit' s end. When stray cat number five moves in, Dad finally takes a surprising stand. Dog-lovers, cat-lovers, and even cat-haters, will love this funny, heart-warming book.
