Apparently this is a series but this is the first book I've read.
Old Man Fookwire was a grump. In the winter he was even grumpier then usual. The only creatures in his yard during the winter were squirrels. If the squirrels were cold they would come inside but he would chase them away. Finally it was spring & Fookwire could go outside & paint all the beautiful birds. One day a loud noise disturbs his peace. Someone has moved in next door. She was Little Old Lady Hu & she had a cat named Muffins- he was a jerk! Muffins liked to be mean to the squirrels but they had a plan to get back at him. Old Man Fookwire never warmed up to Muffins or his neighbor but Little Old Lady Hu loved the squirrels & birds.

None of those workout very well so the company sends them a lifetime supply of cereal. The new animal to collect on the box is a tiger!
