The history of Tabby, a favourite cat : As related by herself to her kitten

In this charming tale a wise old cat named Tabby spends an autumn evening with her curious kitten, sharing the simple pleasures of leaf‑chasing and the gentle rhythms of a well‑lived life. The kitten’s playful questions draw out Tabby’s reflections on youthful adventures, the value of quiet contentment, and the quiet responsibilities that come with age. Their tender dialogue creates a warm portrait of a feline family, where every purr and warning carries a lesson for the next generation.

As Tabby begins to recount her own journey—from a lively kitten in a Hertfordshire cottage to a beloved member of a caring household—she weaves humor and humility into stories of mischief, mouse‑hunting, and the occasional mishap. Listeners are invited to glimpse the world through a cat’s eyes, discovering how love, loyalty, and a touch of feline pride can shape a life full of comfort and quiet bravery.
