In 'The Killer Cat's Birthday Bash' by Anne Fine, the story follows the mischievous and self-centered black cat named Tuffy. Tuffy's owner, Ellie, decides to throw a birthday party for him.

Despite his reluctance, Ellie goes ahead with her plans, inviting friends and their pets to join the festivities. Throughout the book, Tuffy's sarcastic and candid perspective provides humorous commentary on the events, leading to a series of comical misunderstandings and antics.
