After a fat cat arrives at the neat home of elderly Cornelius, the mess the cat creates forces the old guy to kick him out. But the lonely quiet prompts a reunion, with promises for more patience (on Cornelius's part) and tidiness (on the cat's). Energetic cartoon-like illustrations enhance the amusing story--which ends with the foreboding arrival of a scruffy puppy.
