Cry of the Cat	comment	The Goosebumps book about an evil cat, as well as the first Goosebumps Series 2000 book.Allison Moore is riding her bike on the way to school when she accidentally runs over a black cat. When she tries to break the news to the owner, a little girl named Crystal, she is informed that this is an evil cat named Rip. The cat then suddenly springs back to life and runs away. Soon she starts seeing the cat everywhere. She keeps killing him but Rips keeps coming back. Is what Crystal said true? And why does Allison start feeling more catlike after Rip scratches her?It was loosely adapted into the 5th and 6th episodes of the 4th season of the 1995 TV series.
