The Great Small Cat, and Others: Seven Tales

This modest anthology gathers seven tender tales that explore the hidden lives of cats and the people who cross their paths. Through gentle humor and thoughtful observation, the stories examine a feline’s mix of graceful independence and quiet longing for companionship. The opening essay sets the tone, reminding listeners that even the most overlooked alley cat can reveal surprising depths of feeling.

Among the narratives, a black stray faces the fierce currents of a swift river, fighting both water and the cold heart of a ranch widow, while a tiny kitten named Jiminy Christmas makes his bold first appearance, determined despite his rough beginnings. Each story is illustrated with photographs that capture the cats’ personalities, adding a visual charm to the listening experience. Listeners will find the collection both a celebration of feline resilience and a gentle reminder of the simple joys that come from offering a kind hand to a wandering whisker.
