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. 'Anne Fine knows how to make readers laugh' Guardian Anne Fine has written numerous highly acclaimed and prize-winning books for children and adults. The Tulip Touch won the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year Award; Goggle-Eyes won the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Carnegie Medal; Flour Babies won the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year; and Bill's New Frock won a Smarties Prize.

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.

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.

I like it when the cat goes to the vet, and when Ellie gets cross at her cat.
