The school play is coming! When ”Big Bob” Little dies, Bob leaves his entire $36 million fortune to his cat, Wiggles. There’s just one condition. The family must hire a pet psychic. Enter a pair of purr-suasive cons who claim to be the world’s foremost pet psychics.  Not to let the cat out of the bag, but it’s really an elaborate ruse to steal the kitty’s diamond-studded toys.  But when the crooked cat burglars learn that Wiggles needs a will of her own, they hatch a plan to have it all — The Purrfect Crime!

Tomorrow is a big day around Greenview! The Illini play Iowas State and our favorite MLB teams all start another season of baseball!
