What The Cat Knows

When a small kitten (Cupcake) is brought home, her new owners (Andy and Carol) don’t quite know what to make of her strange behavior. Since Andy and Carol have never had a cat, they didn’t realize that all cats behave this way. As it turns out, there’s more going on in the home than Andy and Carol can see. Horrible germ creatures are lurking about, trying to make people sick. Only cats can see them and it’s Cupcake’s job to make sure she keeps these creatures from getting her family sick. The kitten attacks the germ creatures, even though she is very afraid of them. Another cat (Thomas) tries to help Cupcake find her courage. Thomas also helps Cupcake understand her feelings about the new baby that has just arrived in the home. Just as Cupcake is about to conquer her fear, an evil germ creature has come into the home and it’s after the new baby.

About the Real Cupcake

Cupcake was found by the road, in July of 1998, much in the same way it is described in the story. At the time, she looked to be about 5 weeks old. Her behavior inspired the author to write the story about why she behaved this way. She still lives at home and protects her pets from germ creatures; however, she has graduated to the outdoors.
