Illustrated stories by JD Eells

Black cat Puma, wearing her pink name tag, sits beside fluffy black-and-white Kylo in a pile of autumn leaves. A chipmunk peeks out nearby.
Fall in. Get cozy. Expect a little mischief.

Pull up a cozy spot

Adventures worth
staying awake for.

At least, that’s what Puma says.
Kylo makes no promises.

The Adventures of Puma and Kylo

The Backyard Boss

One tiny intruder. One very big overreaction.

Puma takes backyard security very seriously. A suspicious leaf? An emergency. A tiny chipmunk? An invasion. Luckily, she has backup. Unfortunately, her backup is napping.

The decorations are up. So is Puma’s guard.

There are ghosts in the yard and monsters at the door. Puma is certain Mama needs rescuing. Kylo would like to know if this rescue mission includes snacks. Halloween has never been quite this suspicious.

Your backyard welcoming committee

Meet the cats.

Puma Head of backyard security

Small cat. Enormous responsibility. Every leaf deserves an inspection, every rustle deserves a plan, and somebody has to keep Mama safe.

Current assignment: absolutely everything.

Kylo Backup. When available.

Fluffy, unhurried, and always ready for lunch. Kylo has a gift for finding the coziest spot in the middle of a very important emergency.

Current assignment: five more minutes.

Backyard report · A rustling leaf

Suspicious. Very suspicious.

Puma’s plan
Inspect every inch. Ask it to state its business.
Kylo’s plan
A perfectly good reason to stay in the flowerpot.

Two cats. Two opinions. Always an adventure.

There’s room on the porch

Make yourself at home.

Start with a tiny chipmunk, then see what Puma thinks of Halloween.
