One day, ever so long ago, it struck me that I should like to try and write a book about Cats. I mentioned the idea to some of my friends: the first burst out laughing at the end of my opening sentence, so I refrained from entering into further details. The second said there were a hundred books about Cats already. The third said, β€œNobody would read it,” and added, β€œBesides, what do you know of the subject?” and before I had time to begin to tell him, said he expected it was very little. β€œWhy not Dogs?” asked one friend of mine, hitting upon the notion as though by inspiration. β€œOr Horses,” said some one else; β€œor Pigs; or, look here, this is the finest notion of all:β€”



β€˜THE BOOK OF DONKIES,
BY ONE OF THE FAMILY!’”

Somewhat disheartened by the reception my little project had met with, I gave up the idea for awhile, and went to work upon other things. I cannot exactly remember what I did, or how much, but my book about Cats was postponed sine die, and in the meantime I made some inquiries.

I hope I have not been very prosy, and I hope, in the somewhat large collection of Cat anecdotes here brought together, β€œthe only one worth the trouble of relating” has not been omitted. If this has been the case, allow me to assure you it has not been because I have spared any trouble in gathering together my materials. (C.H.Ross)
