A Chato—el gato más chévere del barrio—le encantan las fiestas. Cuando se entera de que su amigo Novio Boy nunca ha tenido una fiesta de cumpleaños, Chato decide organizarle una pachanga de sorpresa. Inmediatamente Chato se pone a trabajar, pero cuando llega el día señalado, se da cuenta de que se ha olvidado de lo más importante . . .
Con un texto divertido y llamativas ilustraciones, la continuación de Chato y su cena es verdaderamente algo para celebrar.
