What is I Want a Cat about?

Jessy is the only girl in the world without a pet, and she desperately wants a cat. Her parents, however, can't stand them. Determined, Jessy dons a fluffy white cat suit and refuses to take it off until they relent. She even goes to school in her costume and eats raw fish under the table! Eventually, her parents give in, but to their surprise, Jessy has now set her sights on something else.
