Bookroo's summary

Archie plans a fun day with friends, but a stray cat turns his street show into chaos, scattering his audience. Yet, as Archie heads home, the persistent feline follows, hinting at an unexpected bond. Can this uninvited guest become a new friend, or will it continue to cause trouble? Discover how a simple encounter with a stray can change everything.

From the publisher

On his way to hang out with the neighborhood kids, Archie very innocently greets a stray cat who follows him and gets in the way. The cat ruins everything - Archie’s street show is a mess and his audience drifts away. But things aren’t all bad: when Archie goes, the cat follows him all the way home, too!
