by Stacey Patton (Author), Acamy Schleikorn (Illustrator)
Based on the author's real experience, this charming and hilarious picture book follows a solitary homeowner who insists she's much too busy to adopt a stray cat...until the cat adopts her.
Staceypants lives in a beautiful yellow house in Charm City where she stays busy fixing things, planting pretty flowers, and keeping her home clean. One day, she finds a scruffy gray cat perched on her fence. But Staceypants definitely does not want a cat. Cats scratch furniture, jump on everything, and they need a litter box! No, this is not Staceypants's cat. Not when the cat comes back again and again. Not when Staceypants buys the cat a fancy cat bed. Not even when she and the cat sunbathe and do porch yoga together. But what will she do when the cat that's not her cat disappears?Author Biography
