Travel and Adventures of Well-Padded Puss - Alexander Krasnopolski - Bog

There once was Puss, and he was not really fat, but he was kind of... Well, he called himself “not skinny”. Why Puss? For unknown reasons, he disliked cats, although he recognized them as his relatives. Puss claimed that he was a representative of a completely separate type of creatures — Pusses. His friends and acquaintances did not argue with him, and they nicknamed him Well-padded Puss just to please him.
It is known that once real adventures begin, they never end. Puss does not even suspect that a trip to the Faraway Lands, acquaintance with aliens and continued rivalry with Scrappy dogs and artful Sly U are waiting for him. But he can always count on his friends’ help and the good magic of Stapler, who will never let him down.
