Meet Dudley Edwards, a smart, somewhat cynical, and very spoiled twenty-pound cat. The book begins a few weeks before Christmas and Dudley has been begging, praying, and yowling for a skateboard. Instead, he becomes the unhappy recipient of a new brother, Beanz. The introduction of a new cat into the household is at the very least, chaotic. Dudley sulks. He doesn't believe that Santa will bring him a skateboard, as he has never been on the "good" list. Instead, Dudley decides to take matters into his own hands. Laughter, food fights, neighborhood aliens, and sibling rivalry abound. Join the boys' first adventure together as they race, pounce, bite, and deviously warm your hearts.
