Synopses & Reviews
Tumford isnt really a terrible cat. He just has a way of finding mischief—tracking dirt into the house, knocking over breakable things, and disrupting fancy parties. But even though he feels bad, he has a hard time saying, “Im sorry.” Will the fact that his owners love him, no matter what, help Tummy say the magic words?
