Cry of the Cat is the first novel of R. L. Stine's Goosebumps: Series 2000. It is about a girl named Allison Moore who finds a strange gray cat named Rip that scratches her, but the scratches glow and heal quickly. As the story progresses, the girl becomes more and more like a cat, and finds out that the cat has a disease that turns its victims cat-like and eventually kills them.
