- 1 Cats and Tigers, Start! 猫和老虎，启动！ No one paid any attention to my last book. After giving it some thought, I guess my writing was just too all over the place, and some readers couldn't follow it, so they dropped it. That's why I'm back with a new book. The main focus will be Tom and Jerry. I might write about some other worlds too, but they won't get much page time. I'm not sure whether there'll be a heroine, but probably not. I'm a middle school student, so I only have time to write during breaks. [Tom and Jerry] [Fan Fiction] 8Reads—Score—Shelves
