Illustrated by
Vincent Nguyen.
Outraged when his owner brings home a kitten, Bandit the cat runs away. He changes his mind--only to find himself locked out by mistake. After the kitten helps him get back inside, Bandit warms to her enough to provide a satisfying (if predictable) resolution. The illustrations' comic-strip look and Bandit's grumpy reaction are entertaining, though his nicknames for the kitten grow tiresome.
