32 p., HarperCollins, 2006.
Bud and Gabby, two cats, are best friends, even if Bud is, by his own admission, "the bossy one." They do everything together, both cat things and people things, and Bud genuinely appreciates Gabby. When Gabby gets sick and Bud can't even make her laugh, she has to stay at the hospital. Bud misses her terribly, remembering all her admirable qualities and moping as only a cat can. (He grooms so much that he gets a big hairball). When Gabby comes home healthy, Bud is so happy that he decides not to be so bossy any more. This charming story empathizes with how hard it is to miss a friend who is sick and offers hope, all the while using humor to help readers cheer up.
