All is calm in Old Mr. Fookwire's yard until a new neighbor, Little Old Lady Hu, and her cat, Muffins, move in next door. This cat is MEAN. He ambushes the squirrels and ties their
tails together. . Mr. Fookwire is upset, but not nearly as upset as the squirrels. They devise a plan to get revenge on Muffins, involving a large bucket full of icy water. Everyone is
happy except Fookwire, who is a grump anyway, and Muffins, who will never ever go outdoors again. The amiable foolishness of the text is complemented by the loony, cartoony illustrations.
