Mister Pushkin always knows what’s good for Klem. But Klem only thinks he knows what’s good for Mister Pushkin. With luxuriant blue fur and golden eyes, Mister Pushkin is not like other cats. And although his instinct is usually reliable, his ability to see things others can’t can be a mixed blessing. Avoiding the vet’s thermometer may be impossible, but somehow, he must find a way to escape Klem’s short leash.

Mister Pushkin has nine lives. And he’ll need every one! For a cat not known for his patience, Mister Pushkin remains calm, in spite of intolerable provocation. But every cat has its limits. Although Klem would often like Mister Pushkin’s help, he’s rarely pleased with the cat’s methods. Emma however, is supremely grateful for his assistance in her hour of need.

Mister Pushkin and Klem are creatures of habit. They know what they like, and what they don’t like. That’s why, mostly, they get on. For a cat not used to being outsmarted, Mister Pushkin is in for a shock. But his acute observational skills serve him well. He realizes that trying too hard can often cause unimaginable problems. Sometimes he doesn’t know why he bothers.
