About This Book

An autobiographical feline narrator recounts her life from kittenhood through perils, love affairs, travels, and social encounters in a satirical animal society. The memoir defends cats against claims of inconstancy, arguing that temperament can be shaped by upbringing, and mixes anecdote with moral reflection. Episodes cover youthful misadventures, dangers, changing character, romantic and social intrigues, life abroad, and fluctuations of fortune, concluding with contemplations on attachment, education, and communal prejudice. Illustrated, episodic chapters balance comic incidents with earnest lessons about affection, courage, and the variability of character among animals.
