Have you got "the "nadulterated cat" by Terry Pratchett?

A friend of mine asked me to babysit his not-quite-tom, which is
called Jerry. This cat was supposed to be very fond of people, and in
need of massive interaction. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

When I got there, the thing ignored me and the food I put out for him,
and jumped up into the living-room window where he shredded the
plants. I wasn't the one he expected, and how did I dare try to be
nice. Luckily, he isn't mine, and neither were the plants.
