About this item
Narrated by a cat-loving little girl, this story is a hysterical romp through a family's pet adoption dilemma. Poor Dad does not like cats, and he voices his opposition to the steady stream of stray cats that always seem to wind up on his doorstep—thanks to a cat-loving Mom who wants to save every stray she finds. In an effort to win Dad over, the little girl hides a tiny stray kitten in her hood and convinces Dad to just give it one small squeeze. Dad manages, with trepidation, to stick out his pinkie and pet the creature. But now that five cats have taken over his favorite chair, he becomes desperate and makes a visit to the pound. Dad returns happily with a big, fat puppy—everyone gets something that they want.

My name is Thad Krasnesky. Thank you for visiting my page.I am currently working as an Army officer at the United States Military Academy at West Point. I have just recently returned from my third trip to Iraq. During my deployments I work as an intelligence officer but I still take time to write and work with children. I have done toy drives on both of my last two deployments to help the children in Iraq.I am married and have two daughters, Rachael and Isabelle. I have always enjoyed telling them stories. A few years ago I began to write them down. I have over fifty children's stories written down now. They are all written in verse. The first one is "I Always, Always Get My Way". The next one is called "That Cat Can't Stay". I hope that you enjoy them.
