Can anyone help me identify this book?

[dalek]

When I was about 9 ( I am now 42 - eek!) I read a book about a girl who appears to have run away from home but is in fact hiding under the porch. The reason she has pretended to run away is that she wants a cat but her mother is allergic to them. Somehow (I can't remember how) she ends up with a blue grey siamese cat and so that is doesn't get taken away she "runs" away.

Does anyone know this boo or did I dream it?

TIA

You could do a book search on www.abebooks.co.uk and if you register, you can join the forum where you can ask other people by describing the book if you don't know the title. I always get a quick answer.
