Frank and the Bad Surprise by Brockenbrough, Martha

AMAZON BEST OF THE YEAR

Frank the cat has it good: Tons of toys, unlimited Whiskies(TM) and space and quiet to stretch and nap and think and write.

Then his people bring home a box. A box with something unexpected inside. A puppy.

A puppy who doesn't know the rules of naps. A puppy who slobbers and tackles and barks.

This won't do.

Frank will just have to find a better home. Should be easy, right?
