Dolores, a loud, boisterous little girl, acquires a pet cat named Duncan, and proceeds to dote on him. Duncan is terrified of her. Unfortunately, Dolores continues to treat him without much gentleness or respect. Duncan hides from her and also seems to prefer the company of Dolores' older sister Faye, which of course makes Dolores jealous. Dolores ignores Duncan for a while. Duncan misses her attentions and in the end acknowledges their friendship (only to be driven back under the furniture by Dolores' stentorian rejoicing).

Faye and Dolores features three scenarios that involve Dolores and her older sister Faye; Zena Sutherland, editor of The Bulletin of the Center for Center of Children's Books, criticized the episodic structure but also (after describing the plot) said that, "This is commendable as an effort to show that there's a solid base of sibling support underneath any surface tensions." Laurie Kramer, Sonia Noorman and Renee Brockman (at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, in a study of books involving sibling relationships) grouped the book among those they said, "may be considered as providing children with a relatively richer and multi-faceted picture of positive sibling relationships." Cathy Woodword, in a review of Happy Birthday, Dolores for School Library Journal, writes that the facial expressions in the illustrations "demonstrate the quality and depth of emotion in this typically middle-class family." In What's So Great about Cindy Snappleby? both Faye and Dolores are put through difficulties when Dolores tries to join in with Faye's friends; reviewer Deborah Stevenson states that, "Fastidious yet lively line-and-watercolor illustrations float pleasantly in lots of white space, although Dolores' mess sometimes overcrowds the composition."
