An elderly couple want a little companionship and decide they want a pet cat. The man goes out to find one and brings back not just one, but "Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats" which proves to be an impossible feat of taking care of all of them. The cats fight it out to decide which feline is prettiest. Sing songy rhythm makes this a great read aloud.
