From the publisher

Applaud for KLAWDE. Two paws up!–Dav Pilkey, creator of the Dog Man series. Funny, savage, and brilliant, Klawde is the pet I wish I had.–Max Brallier, New York Times Bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth. Klawde is not your basic cat. He’s an emperor from another planet, exiled to Earth. He’s cruel. He’s cunning. He’s brilliant… and he’s also Raj Banerjee’s best friend. In book three of this hysterical series, Klawde faces a challenger he never imagined: a dog, who has arrived on Earth to settle the intergalactic score. He’s hyper, he’s loyal, he’s an all-around-good boy, and he’s here to bring Klawde to justice. Can our ferocious feline evade the long paw of the law? Raj, on the other hand, is faced with his own out-of-town visitor who, although from Earth, may prove to be even more formidable: his grandmother. When she plans a birthday party Raj doesn’t want, will he survive the embarrassment? Heavily illustrated, with a hilarious, biting voice that switches between Raj’s and Klawde’s perspectives, this is the story of an unlikely friendship that emerges between a boy and the evil cat who arrived on his doorstep.
