      I’ve worked it out. I’ve worked out the reason for the parlous state of the world. It’s cats. Hear me out. I love cats. But they’re the source of all evil. I didn’t always think like this. And I still love them, which speaks volumes about me, I dares

      Funny.....but short and not so well written....

      Kitty's family goes on a weeks vacation with the promise that they will bring her back a "very big surprise"..... Meanwhile Uncle Murray comes to take care of Bad Kitty & Dog.... What ensues is a riot, led by Bad Kitty....
    • 5/5
      It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wonder-full and funny and we did not like that it was so much different than we thought it would be for us and we could not have a child in the whole family and we were all going out with our family and we had a little time together

    • 5/5
      Uncle Murray first appears in Bad Kitty when Kitty threatens to "eat Uncle Murray" if she's not fed any of her favorite foods. Since then he's been a recurring comic foil for Kitty.In Bad Kitty vs. Uncle Murray the rivalry is explained and turned into another cat behavior lesson. This time the focus is on why cats are prone to spooking. Among the lessons are why cats howl, why they poof themselves up and why they won't eat when their human family leaves.Interjected with the lessons are the points of view of both Kitty and Murray. Kitty's part of the story is reminiscent of the two picture books, Bad Kitty and Poor Puppy. Contrasted against Kitty's horror movie view of the world is Murray's rather gentle but confused state. He wants to take good care of Kitty and Puppy but just can't seem to get Kitty's trust. Murray seems to be a nice guy.Fans of the series and owners of high strung cats will enjoy the book.

      "I really like this book and I think it is quite funny and hilarious. I like how Uncle Murray's Fun Facts are educational as well. In the beginning of Bad Kitty Meets the Baby I think it's cool that is takes off from the end of Bad Kitty vs. Uncle Murray and shows WHY Uncle Murray was pet sitting Bad Kitty and Puppy. I think it's funny in the Kitty Diaries that 10 minutes is like a week for Kitty". - Joshua L. - 13 years old.This series of books are hilarious and a very fun read for children. In this one Uncle Murray, a very large but lovable guy, is pet sitting Bad Kitty and Puppy for the week. Uncle Murray tries to make peace with Bad Kitty from the beginning but Bad Kitty is just…well…BAD! He doesn't like or trust Uncle Murray from the beginning and imagines all sorts of stuff aganist him. In the end, peace is made and then a surprise is shown as to WHY the parents were away which leads into the next book. Your kids will love this. Esther L - Mom of six
