Cat By Any Other Name (9781101597729) (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
We were all in the herb garden, along with three neighborhood children who were garden helpers. Ava was holding something up and yelling out: “I know these things are killing the peppermint. I know these ugly creatures are going to destroy the whole garden before we get it all harvested. I know it! I know it! I know it!” Renee, Sylvia, and I stood gaping at the small object in Ava’s hand. It appeared to be some kind of worm or slug—white and undulating. “I must know what this is. I have to know!” Ava cried out. “It’s Uncle Wiggly,” Sylvia commented wryly, “tunneling his way to Connecticut.” Ava shot a furious glance her way. Returning to her own work, Renee called over her shoulder, “Kill the bloody thing.” As she said it, I looked closely at her dark, lovely face. Kill the bloody thing. The words had a certain ugly resonance.
