Mary Anne just loves her little kitten, Tigger, So when he disappears one afternoon, Mary Anne is a little concerned. The next morning Tigger is still missing...and Mary Anne is frantic. It's time for an emergency meeting of the Baby-sitters Club.
The girls pool together a reward for the return of Tigger, and they search everywhere for him...until Mary Anne receives a frightening letter in the mail. Someone has taken Tigger, and Mary Anne must pay a hundred dollars to get him back.
Is this some mean practical joke...or has Tigger really been cat-napped?
I named Mary Anne’s kitten after the first cat my family ever had. Before I was born, my parents lived in an apartment complex in Princeton, New Jersey. One day, one of the neighbors saw a young stray cat being attacked by a blue jay in the yard. The neighbor gave the cat to my parents, and they named him Tigger, after the tiger in Winnie the Pooh. Tigger lived to be seventeen years old and was one of our favorite pets, even though he remained shy and scared throughout his long life.
When I was young, my family had lots of cats. None of them was ever stolen, like Mary Anne’s, but every now and then one would disappear for a day or two. We always worried, just like Mary Anne. Once, though, while we were on vacation, one of the cats escaped from the boarding kennel and found her way all across town to our house, even though she had never been outside our yard before. Just like in the book The Incredible Journey!
