A spoof of the story of King Kong, with cat and mice characters. This blend of manipulated photography, paintings, and collage accompanies a zany, inventive text revealing how Dr. Varmint and Rosie Rodent capture Kat Kong and bring him back to Mousopolis. Little do the mice know, that no chains can hold the mighty Kat Kong! Warning: Some material may be too silly for grown-ups! Full color.

"Sometimes at night my cat, Blueberry, comes upstairs and sits with me while I paint and write. On one particular night, while I was writing the text for Dogzilla, I happened to look up and see Blueberry lying on a bookshelf looking down at me. Blueberry is a sweet, occasionally grumpy, but always lovable cat. She does, however, sometimes have a nasty, evil look about her. That night, she was looking down at me with one of those menacing looks, and I suspected that she might be jealous that I was writing a book about the family dog, but not one about her. So I quickly scribbled the words 'Kat Kong' on a piece of paper. Then I glanced across the room at my pet mice, who were looking kind of jealous, too. I didn't want them to feel left out, so I included them in the books as well." — Dav Pilkey

1. To get the fierce looks on Dav's cat, Blueberry, he snapped pictures of her while a friend blew on the back of her head (Blueberry hates that!). 2. Although Blueberry is retired from the acting business, she still expects to be treated like a star. (She is!) 3. The only way Dav could get Blueberry to put up with his constant picture taking was to bribe her with her favorite treat, Petromalt. 4. Blueberry was "paid" for her "acting services" with a rhinestone-studded collar and lots of fresh, home-grown catnip (her second favorite treat!).
