Baseball season starts and Willy, well he loves baseball. He acts really crazy, interfering with the little boys' games and everything. There is also one other thing going on -- there is there two new cats that just moved into the neighborhood. The hard part about it for Chuck is that both of them don’t like dogs so Chuck doesn’t tell Willy that he’s hanging out with them. The two new guys think cats should hang out with cats and dogs should hang out with dogs, and that is that. So Chuck just keeps his mouth shut about Willy when he was around them, so he won't lose his friendship with the new cats. Chuck is showing the new guys around the neighborhood when all of a sudden, Willy comes running out from a baseball field with the ball in his mouth. There is a dog catcher right there waiting to trap Willy! If Chuck goes out to save Willy the other cats will think he’s the craziest cat in the world to be friends with a dog and won’t accept his friendship. But if Chuck stays with his two new cat friends Willy will be caught and sent to the pound! Who will he choose, his new friends or his old? He has to hurry because times running out!!!

This book is the second sequel to Upchuck and the Rotten Willy. For this book I would rate it another 9 because I really enjoy these kinds of books a lot.
