 Henry and his 180-pound dog Mudge are best friend foerever. And in this eight book of their adventures, they make friends with a scruffy but lovable cat.

I read Henry and Mudge and the Happy cat. It is about the boy who is Henry, Henry's family and them dog Mudge. One day, the shabbiest cat was sitting on the steps. The cat had saggy belly, skinny legs, and fur that looked like mashed prunes. Henry's father carried the cat into the house. After that, the three of them watched as the cat drank three bowls of milk. The cat got decided to stay this house. Henry, Mudge and the cat got friendly soon. Mudge became like a the cat's mother. Mudge likes cat, and the cat likes Mudge too. But the family didin't want any pets, so they decided to posters to find a home for the cat. They put posters everywhere around town. Then one day there was a　surprise. A police car parked in front of Henry 's house, and a police man rang Henry's bell. To tell the truth, the cat was lost, and the cat was police man's. The cat called Dave, and he took the cat home. When they ware gone, Henry and Mudge felt very sad. The naxt day a big box was on their porch, and the note on it said: TO MUDGE FROM DAVE. Inside box were thirty giant dog bones, and under those was a gold police badge! They became a happy!
