Mr. Putter and Tabby Pour the Tea - Cynthia Rylant - Bog

Old Mr Putter has much to do. In the morning he eats his muffin. Then he works in his garden until teatime, when he enjoys his cup of tea. The problem is, Mr Putter is lonely. What Mr Putter needs is a friend - and he finds one at the animal shelter. Now Mr. Putter has Tabby, the old yellow cat, who purrs while Mr Putter tells his stories.
