To Mr. Alexander, his wife's suggestion that they should have a cat in the house did not sound an attractive proposition. He preferred dogs, and cats seemed pretty useless. Outside of catching a few mice they performed no apparent work. They didn't guard your house or fetch your slippers. Under no circumstances would they shake hands, sit up or play dead. As a supreme insult to their owners, they wouldn't come when they were called. But the Alexanders, nevertheless, had a cat - the first of five cats which were to enter their home. Alexander's account of these five cats in his life, accompanied by Peggy Bacon's delightful drawings, will enchant anyone who likes cats. At once amusing and perceptive, he has captured the essence of the cat's peculiar fascination.
