Rufus at Work

by Norman Taber, Tory Taber

People don't appreciate how hard it is to be a cat.

Rufus is a fat, lazy cat. At least that's what his owner Posy tells him. But Posy simply doesn't appreciate how hard Rufus really works. Guarding the birdbath, pruning the catnip, keeping his stripes in order and the sun off the rug―these things take true dedication. What Posy doesn't realize is that every day is a workday for Rufus. He's just misunderstood! Cat fanatics and cat critics alike will fall in love with Rufus, the hardest-working cat in the pet business.

This is a cute book about what work would be for a cat, the poor under-appreciated and overweight darling. The illustrations are not in a style I usually like, but they do suit the text very well.

A very silly cat, I like some of his expressions in the pictures, good message about perceptions and friendship.
