Alexander And Some Other Cats

FOREWORD - When I decided to compile a book of stories to emphasize the fact that cats are very sensitive, intelligent and capable of affection, I did not realize how much had been written already about them. It has been a difficult task to select from a great volume of material a comparatively few examples of genuine intelligence and of real affection in cats. In spite of a general belief to the contrary, cats do often display the warmest attachment to their owners. They even show a frequent ability to travel and to adapt themselves to new places, if only the beloved owner is there. A great many books have been written about cats. The reader will probably be surprised to learn how many famous persons have loved cats and been loved by them in return. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are now republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
