You like to watchwhile I make breakfast.You’re always hungry.

Page 11: You're Not My Cat

I shouldn’t feed you—you’re not my cat.I just give you little snacks.

I call you Gusbut I know that’s not your name.

Page 14: You're Not My Cat

12

Sometimes you help me with my chores,and when we’re finished,

Page 15: You're Not My Cat

Page 16: You're Not My Cat

14

we read

Page 17: You're Not My Cat

15

and practice the piano.

Page 18: You're Not My Cat

16

We like to explore the backyard,

Page 19: You're Not My Cat

17

and spy on the neighbors,

Page 20: You're Not My Cat

18

and find secret places.Sometimes we just sitand don’t do anything.

You bring me presents and surprises,

Page 23: You're Not My Cat

21

and I take care of you.I pull the burrs from your fureven though you’re not my cat.

Page 24: You're Not My Cat

22

Sometimes you let me dress you up,

Page 25: You're Not My Cat

23

and then we have tea.

Page 26: You're Not My Cat

I like the look on your face when you’re happy.When I pet you,you purr in my ear.I never feel lonely when I’m with you.But . . .

you ruin the couch,

Page 29: You're Not My Cat

27

you get in my way,

Page 30: You're Not My Cat

28

and when I say,“Get out of here.You’re not my cat!”

Page 31: You're Not My Cat

29

you don’t leaveuntil you want to.

Page 32: You're Not My Cat

30

When you go away,I wonder how you are,and what you’re doing,and if you’ll be back tomorrow.But I don’t worry about you—you’re not my cat.
