Or the Mountain Climber cat, Snowball, who is planning a perilous route up the North Curtain to Mt. Bookcase. Or Mystico, the Magician catno one could figure out how he sawed a dog in half. (The answer was simple: He didnt like dogs.) And Hjalmar, the Viking cat, whose motto is Pillage. Tuna. Plunder. Nap.
