 For cat lovers of any age June 25, 2008
I picked this up when browsing through WH Smith and ended up reading the entire thing there in the shop. It has laugh out loud cat antics and I only wish I had the excuse of children to buy it for.

ok ok so its great September 25, 2007
The Diary of a killer cat is just such a lovely book.
I read it over and over again when my (now 16 year old) daughter was younger, I have read it to my nieces and nephews and I now read it to my children at school.
It never fails to make little ones (and bigger ones) smile as dear old tuffy get into mischief just being Tuffy.
If you love to read children then this a defiantly a book to read to them
Subtle allegory August 23, 2007
The previous reviewer (Pav Snell) has misinterpreted this excellent book. At first view it is only a simply children's book, but look deeper and you will find a subtle allegory about betraying one's partner and the consequences of shooting the mess-anger.
If you like cats you'll love this January 11, 2007

This book starts off with a cat called Tuffy who kills a few animals such as birds and mice. His owners think this is very bad, but then Tuffy brings in a rabbit. This rabbit belongs to their next door neighbours and they think Tuffy has killed it. So, they clean the rabbit up and the dad sneaks next door to put the rabbit back in it's cage!
The next day the cat flap is nailed up, so that Tuffy can go out but not in! Then Tuffy is taken to the vets to get a jab, but he causes a lot of trouble and gets sent home. In the car park they meet their neighbours and are told about the how the rabbit reappeared in it's hutch after it had died and been buried in a box in the garden!
This book is written in the first person style in the form of a diary that is written by the cat, Tuffy. I would give it 10/10. I really enjoyed reading it.
