Everyone loves the wickedly dry sense of humour of The Diary of a Killer Cat by Anne Fine.
Okay, Okay. So hang me. I killed the bird. For pity’s sake, I’m a cat.
Poor Ellie is horrified when Tuffy drags a dead bird into the house. Then a mouse. But Tuffy can’t understand what all the fuss is about.
Who on earth will be the next victim to arrive through the cat-flap? Can soft-hearted Ellie manage to get her beloved pet to change his wild, wild ways before he ends up in even deeper trouble?
The hilarious antics of Tuffy and his family as told by the killer cat himself.

It was very funny my favourite character was thumper
I liked when the killer cat kills the bird part at the very start.
100 stars!
Loved a twist
I loved this book because the killer cat had friends and it was funny at times. My favourite character was the Killer Cat. My favourite bit was when the girls who owned the Killer Cat said 'Tuffy'. I would recommend this book to cat lovers and those who want a laugh.
Story told by a cat
Too sad for the animals, but really good
I would give this book to Elisabeth because she likes cat's and funny things.
This book wasn't as exciting as some of the other books I read but I still loved reading it. It's about a cat bringing in loads of birds and rabbits etc and getting told off for it but the owner sticks up for the cat and in the end they are all a happy family. I would recommend this book to children age 7-10 who like cats.
Too Girly
i rearly liked this book because it was funny
My favourite character is Tuffy. My favourite part is when he brought in a rat.
I thought the book was funny and my favourite character is the cat because he is cheeky and sarcastic.
I would recommend this book to my friends
I like the killer cat and I think it is funny but also a bit sad because tuffy keeps on killing other animals
I really enjoyed the storyline and the twist that the cat was not the killer.
a lot of suspense in the story!
It is a funny book
I like how this story is narrated by the cat, he’s only doing what cats do!

I like that they made Tuffy so sarcastic.l like that mr Fine is always so angry and Elie is so funny!
I wish my cat brought me a rabbit
It was very funny!! I loved the way the cat thought he was being good when he wasn't.
A very quick read to check suitability for my class. Funny! I enjoyed it.
The book was funny but a bit creepy and scary
I loved everything about this book, it was the right length to read with funny and killer bits
I like it when the cat goes to the vet, and when Ellie gets cross at her cat.
That it was an unexpected ending!
Very short story but exciting
It was interesting and funny.
It was rather funny, the character I liked most was Tuffy. But he kept getting into a lot of trouble!
