Description
Poor Ellie is horrified when Tuffy drags a dead bird into the house. Then a mouse. But Tuffy can't understand what all the fuss is about.Who on earth will be the next victim to arrive through the cat-flap? Can soft-hearted Ellie manage to get her beloved pet to change his wild, wild ways before he ends up in even deeper trouble?The hilarious antics of Tuffy and his family are told by the killer cat himself. ---------- ###German-language description: ***Anne Fine*** hat ein ganz anderes Katzenbuch geschrieben: Kuschels Tagebucheinträge sind katzenkomisch und herrlich schräg – so wie auch Axel Schefflers Bilder, die er für diese Neuausgabe gezeichnet hat. Ein Buch, das Erstleser, Lesemuffel und Katzenfreunde begeistert. <br/> **Okay, okay, hängt mich ruhig auf! Ja, ich hab den Vogel getötet. Du lieber Himmel, ich bin nun mal eine** ***Katze!*** ***Kuschel*** ist eine Katze. Sie jagt Vögel, buddelt Löcher ins Blumenbeet und schleppt tote Mäuse an. Alles ganz normal, findet sie. Ihre Familie sieht das anders – allen voran Ellie, die jedes Mal in Tränen ausbricht, wenn ***Kuschel*** eines ihrer »Geschenke« auf die Fußmatte legt. An einem Donnerstag ist ***Kuschel*** besonders stolz: Etwas dreckig vom Gezerre durch Garten und Katzenklappe, doch gut erhalten, liegt Hoppel, der Hase der Nachbarin, in der Küche. Tot. Mausetot. ***Kuschels*** Familie gerät in Panik. Hoppel muss zurück in seinen Stall! Aber in diesem Zustand? Also rücken ihm Ellie und ihre Eltern mit warmem Wasser, Bürste und Fön zu Leibe ... ---------- Florilège de trois aventures de Tuffy, le chat râleur d'une fillette prénommée Ellie. Sur un ton teinté de sarcasme, le félin qui ne manque pas de verve raconte le quotidien qu'il mène en compagnie de sa famille adoptive, qui ne peut souffrir de le voir ramener à la maison les corps de ses nombreux délits. Mais comment peut-on lui reprocher de se laisser conduire par ses instincts naturels? Dans son journal de bord, le capricieux matou relate également les vacances turbulentes qu'il passe en compagnie d'un pasteur, ce "véritable tortionnaire" qui a accepté de le garder en l'absence de ses maîtres. Ceci avant de confier son aversion pour les oeuvres d'art que la mère d'Ellie crée dans son cours d'arts plastiques, mais qu'il doit apprendre à ne pas marquer de sa griffe désapprobatrice s'il désire conserver son foyer ... [SDM]. Des esquisses humoristiques égaient ces chroniques rigolotes, espiègles et gentiment subversives d'un félin grincheux, hautain et incompris de ses maîtres en lequel de nombreux lecteurs ne manqueront pas de reconnaître leur animal de compagnie! [SDM].
