Title: The Great Small Cat And Others Seven Tales

Author: May E. Southworth

Publication Information: Paul Elder And Company, Publishers, San Francisco (Copyright 1914 Paul Elder And Company, San Francisco).

Additional Information: 8 Illustrations from photographs which are tipped in and decorations by Pedro J. Lemos. 123 pages. Inscription on the oe title page that says: (A Name) San Francisco, 1915. Compliments of Publisher.

Summary: Included in the book are seven tales:

  1. The Great Small Cat. The Tale of the black “stray” whose mother-love and home-love steeled her to repeatedly brave the waters of the dark swift-flowing river, and how this “bunch hard to beat” overcame the cold heart of the “widow Lady” of the ranch.
  2. Thursday. The orphan foundling, fed from spoon; her eoquettish tyranny over her friend and playmate, a magnificent Irish setter; and the story of her tragic end when answering the home-call.
  3. A Mine, A Miner And A Cat. The story of the loyal comradeship of the miner and the cat, and how Puss proved to be the cleverer prospector of the two and discovered the bonanza mine.
  4. Aida And Saadu. Twin blue-blooded aristocrats, whose temperamental pranks and mischievous adventures caused startling surprises and frequent shocks; their marauding, murderous transgressions and how they were finally cured.
  5. Marooned. The story of the intense hatred of the shanghaired cat; his dignified aloofness; his “Tabasco temper” over the pranks of the sailors; and his final survival of the wreck, from which, after braving the ocean waves, he reached the shore and gained his freedom amid the mystery of the wild.
  6. Maida. The strange but true story of the Maltese mother-cat who adopted a brood of white rats, and the record of her disciplinary methods in raising and controlling her alien foster-children.
  7. A Memory. The tale of Jiminy Christmas, a tramp cat, whose wild and vagabond nature caused him to yield, intermittently, to the call of the open, and to leave, unceremoniously, his protected home of plenty and comfort; his last pathetic return.
