Cry of the Cat (Goosebumps 2000 #1) by R.L. Stine - Vintage Paperback

In the light of the full moon, I saw the cat sprawled on its back, its head twisted to one side, its four paws straight up in the air.

Even from my bedroom window high above the ground, I recognized the cat.

The cat named Rip.

And I knew without going down there that I had killed it again.

Killed it for a third time.
