Bookroo's summary

Hank finds himself stranded after falling from a truck during a cattle-feeding trip. Alone, he must rely on the enigmatic Mary D. Cat to fend off threats. Is she a vampire or an unexpected ally? As danger looms, will Slim notice Hank's absence in time? Discover the truth behind Mary D. Cat's mysterious nature and Hank's daring adventure.

From the publisher

Hank encounters the weirdest cat he’s ever seen, when he, Slim, Drover, and Little Alfred head over to the Hodge’s place to feed the cattle. Hank gets bumped out of the back of the Cammo-Stealth army truck, Mary D. Cat is the only one around to help keep Rip and Snort at bay. Will Slim realize Hank is missing in action? Is Mary D. Cat really a vampire? Or could it be–gulp–that she’s a good cat after all?
