Picky-picky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Picky-picky is a fictional cat in the Ramona series of books by Beverly Cleary.
[edit] Fictional personality
Picky-picky is the Quimbys' old grumpy cat. His name comes from his finicky attitude towards his cat food. He is affectionate towards Beezus but is wary of Ramona because she is so loud.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Picky-picky is so picky about his cat food that when he refuses to eat the cheap Puss-puddy brand when Mr. Quimby loses his job, he ends up eating the family's Jack-O-Lantern instead. He later dies of natural causes while Ramona is in the third grade (Ramona Forever). His burial helps heal a rift between Ramona and Beezus that had recently occurred.
