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, βNobody would read it,β and added, βBesides, what do you know of the subject?β and before I had time to begin to tell him, said he expected it was very little. βWhy not Dogs?β asked one friend of mine, hitting upon the notion as though by inspiration. βOr Horses,β said some one else; βor Pigs; or, look here, this is the finest notion of all:β
βTHE BOOK OF DONKIES,
BY ONE OF THE FAMILY!ββ
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, βthe only one worth the trouble of relatingβ 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)
