About this book

Mrs Johnson gets a cat in the hope of making her family a bit more normal, but little does she know that she’s just brought home Looshkin, who is anything but...

Looshkin is named ‘the maddest cat in the world’ for good reason – this kitty is absolutely bonkers and random. Anything that could possibly go wrong all comes down to Looshkin: from bringing home a shark and insisting it’s an otter to opening a portal to hell, Looshkin leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes. Not to forget that time he turned the house into an igloo to play with a penguin who ran away from the zoo…

An outrageously fun graphic novel in a class of its own for silliness, readers will just love the hilarious absurdity of Looshkin.
