The Journal of Skipper Catt Esquire (Paperback)

Forced to leave his sisters and single mother during his early kittenhood, Skipper Catt set out to make his way in the world. Since he was headstrong, he sometimes forgot his mother's last words to him: "Respect others; keep clean; and say your prayers." Yes, Skipper was determined to have his own way. From time to time his reckless decisions stirred up lots of trouble--not only for Skipper, but for his friends as well. Some of his adventures were only embarrassing; others were downright dangerous. Many people thought Skipper was quite lovable, especially his best friend Ginny. But by peeking into his journal, we see that some days Skipper Catt was not one bit lovable. At times he was thoughtless, jealous, angry and proud: "Without thinking I leaped up on the balcony rail and swooped down on that intruder like Batman on a robber. . . Three stories was a long way down." "Serves her right for leaving me with those two gangsters every day. She doesn't know how I suffered." "Do this again, and you and the cat will be put off the train." "Around noon, an animal control officer picked me up and threw me in his truck . . . I'd never been in jail before." As Skipper grew older, he settled in as a wise old Grandpa. Now looking back over his long life, he shares with you and his grandkitties what he has learned.
