Bandit's Surprise door Karen Rostoker-Gruber

It's the story of a cat who loves his home and finds a new invader ruining it entirely. The new kitten, Mitzi, eats his food and sleeps on his blanket, it's all so unacceptable!

Ferret Fun door Karen Rostoker-Gruber

Two ferrets living alone with their owner are suddenly seen as a meal for a cat that joins the household. The graphic style of the book allows for more pictures so we see the cat's thoughts progress from a sneaky and sly protagonist to a friendly playmate at the end.
