0:08:06 > 0:08:08Well, that's interesting.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, hello. I'm Shappi.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13I've just been reading in the newspaper

0:08:13 > 0:08:16about an amazing perfect pet show.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19One little girl decided to enter her cat.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23I'm going to tell you all about it in tonight's bedtime story.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27It's called Mr Pusskins, by Sam Lloyd.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31This is the story of a little girl called Emily,

0:08:31 > 0:08:33and her dear cat, Mr Pusskins.

0:08:33 > 0:08:39One morning, while flicking through the paper, Emily spotted something.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42There was a pet show in town that very day.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46"Oh, Mr Pusskins, you're such a handsome boy.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49"You simply must enter," gushed Emily.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52But Mr Pusskins wasn't so keen.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Little Whiskers, Emily's dear kitten,

0:08:54 > 0:08:57was too young to enter the competition.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02"We can both support Mr Pusskins instead," said Emily excitedly.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Mr Pusskins glared at the other contestants.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Why did they look so snazzy for such a silly show?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13But as soon as Mr Pusskins entered the arena,

0:09:13 > 0:09:16he knew it was because of the trophy.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21It was the most fabulous thing Mr Pusskins had ever seen.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23He simply had to have it.

0:09:23 > 0:09:28He hurried to the dressing room, where he licked and slicked

0:09:28 > 0:09:32and buffed and fluffed until he was magnificent.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37When Mr Pusskins joined the other pets, they gasped in amazement.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Surely he'd win and the trophy would be his.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Just then, they heard an announcement.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45"Let the judging commence!"

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Mr Pusskins wondered where the judging would take place.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Luckily, Madame Fifi seemed keen to show him where to go.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58Mr Pusskins raced off. There was not a moment to lose.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02He must win the competition and get his paws on that trophy.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Madame Fifi trotted away in the other direction.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10But hang on, this wasn't where he should be.

0:10:10 > 0:10:15Drat! That dirty double-crossing poodle must have tricked him.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20Mr Pusskins had to get to judging fast. He needed to take a short cut.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25Mr Pusskins leapt over a fence, zoomed into a tunnel,

0:10:25 > 0:10:27zipped through flags and a hoop

0:10:27 > 0:10:29and arrived at the judging just in time.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33He hoped no-one would notice his mishap.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Mr Pusskins waited anxiously.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38He wanted that trophy so much.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Finally, the announcement was made.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46"And the winner is...

0:10:46 > 0:10:49"Madame Fifi Fou-Fou.'

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Mr Pusskins was mortified.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56He couldn't bear to watch his precious trophy

0:10:56 > 0:10:58go to that cheating dog.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02He had to find Emily and tell her everything.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Emily squeezed Mr Pusskins tight.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09"There, there, darling, never you mind," she soothed.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13"We both know Madame Fifi didn't deserve to win."

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Suddenly there was another announcement.

0:11:16 > 0:11:21"Mr Pusskins has won the top talent trophy."

0:11:21 > 0:11:26"Mr Pusskins, the way you zipped through the obstacle course

0:11:26 > 0:11:28"was incredible," exclaimed the judge.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33"Please accept our most spectacular top talent trophy."

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Mr Pusskins purred with pleasure.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39This is the end of the story of a little girl called Emily

0:11:39 > 0:11:42and her dear cat, Mr Pusskins.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Even though the trophy is in pride of place,

0:11:45 > 0:11:49Emily doesn't need it to prove how wonderful Mr Pusskins is.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51because she's always known.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54That story was called Mr Pusskins.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'm glad Emily's cat won a trophy in the end.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01He deserved it after what that Madame Fifi did.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I wonder if there are any more stories in the paper.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07While I have a look, it's time for you to go to bed.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11So get cosy and I'll see you soon for another story.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Good night.
