The Goblination of the Runt:

A Cautionary Tale for Kittens & Kids

translated from Cat & Pumpkin by Janet Kagan
Old granpa Jack O'Lantern

Granpa Jack O'Lantern tells this tale to all the kittens in our neighborhood:

You may even step lightly onto a pumpkin to admire it more closely.

Runt steps delicately onto the pumpkin to sniff further

But, oh, you little kittens!---you must never, never, NEVER---
