Leave it to Amelia Bedelia to find a real cat on a day it's "raining cats and dogs." She names him Tiger, and in no time, the two are inseparable and as happy as clams. But then Tiger gets into trouble. Will Amelia Bedelia go out on a limb to save him? The cat's out of the bag—this is an irresistible Amelia Bedelia adventure!

Among relatives' photos, maid Amelia finds a loafer busy making bread, a big game hunter playing room-size checkers, a horse racer who competes against equines, and more such literal-minded job descriptions.
