When cousins Mellie and Dennis make a decision to get a cat, they believe carefully what breed would be best for each family. For example, Mellie wants a cat that pounces, but Dennis wants a lazy cat, like his lazy dog, Clark Kent. Mellie wants a lap cat, but Dennis just wants a warm body BESIDE him. They believe different cat personalities, family situations, and personal preferences. 

Mellie writes an opinion essay for her teacher, Mr. Eagle. But will her essay convince her parents to get the cat of her dreams?

This story takes a popular subject–kids getting a pet–and adds cats of all shapes and sizes: all writing lessons will have to be this much fun. Finally, it’s the cousins and the cats that keep a reader turning the page. What sort of cat will Mellie choose? Will Dennis want the same kind of cat?
