The Cat

A charming, cheeky voice leads listeners into the world of a Persian kitten named Loki, who narrates his early days from a newborn’s blurry view. Born blind and deaf for the first week, he watches the bustling household of a well‑to‑do family, absorbing the chatter of servants, the excitement of the child Rosamond, and the protective murmurs of his mother. The cat’s keen observations turn ordinary moments—dusting, a ripped dress, a hopeful “Petronilla!”—into vivid, humorous portraits of Victorian domestic life.

Through a series of whimsical vignettes, the kitten explores the paradox of feline independence and dependence, offering witty commentary on human folly and feline pride. Listeners will delight in the gentle satire and tender affection that reveal how a seemingly aloof cat actually knows more about love, loyalty, and mischief than anyone might expect. The first act sets a playful tone that invites you to see the world through Loki’s whiskered eyes.
