Steve Cox.
Tuffy (Diary of a Killer Cat) is overjoyed that his family's going away ("a whole week of not being...stroked and petted by Ellie and her soppy friend Melanie"). But his spirits are dampened when the vicar--a.k.a. "Mr. Fussbudget"--comes to cat-sit. Tuffy's cranky, irreverent voice makes him a kitty with an attitude. Cox's clean line drawings help dial down the sarcasm.
