SEEN
THE CAT
1st
It is always spoken as a reproach against cats that
they are more fond of their home than of the people in it. Naturally, the cat
doesn't like to leave his country, the land where all his friends are, and
where he knows every landmark. Exiled in a new land, he would have to learn a
new geography. So, when the family moves, the cat, if allowed, will stay at the
old house and attach himself to the new tenants. He will give them the
privilege of boarding him while he enjoys life in his own way.
2nd
Just
think how much more he gets out of his life then you do out of yours! And the
sports they have, too! As they get older they go in for sport to the suburban
backyards. These backyards that are dull to us are to them hunting grounds
where they have more gallant adventure than King Arthur's knights ever had. It
is always spoken as a reproach against cats that they are more fond of their

3rd
When
the family has finished tea, and gathers round the fire, the cat casually goes
out of the room. True life now begins for him. He saunters down his own
backyard, springs to the top of the fence, drops lightly down to the other
side. He trots across and skips to the roof of an empty shed. His movement
becomes lithe and pantherlike. He looks keenly from side to side and moves
noiselessly, for he has so many enemies-dogs and small boys with stones. On top
of the shed, the cat arches his back and rakes his claws once or twice through
the soft bark of the old roof. He stretches himself a few times to see if every
muscle is in full working order. Then, drooping his head nearly to his paws, he
sends across a call to his kindred. Before long they come, gliding, graceful
shadows. No longer are they the meek creatures who an hour ago were mewing for
fish and milk. They are now grim fighters.

4th
Of
course, there was nobody for us to play with on the Big Half Moon. We just had
to make the most of each other, and we did. We live on the Big Half Moon
island, ‘We’ are Father and Claude and I and Aunt Esther and Mimi and Dick. It
used to be only Father and Claude and I . It is all on account of the kite that
there are more of us. This is what I want to tell you about.
Father
is the keeper of the Big Half Moon lighthouse, I am eleven years old. Claude is
twelve. In winter, when the harbour is frozen over, we all move over to the
mainland. As soon as spring comes, back we sail to our own dear island. The
funny part used to be that people always pitied us when the time came for us to
return. They said we must be so lonesome over there, with no other children
near. Of course, Claude and I would have liked to have someone to play with us.
It is hard to run pirate caves and things like that with only two. But we used
to quarrel a good deal with the mainland children in winter. So it was perhaps
just as well that there were none of them on the Big Half Moon. Claude and I
never quarreled. To be sure, Father didn't seem to have any relations except
us. This used to puzzle Claude and me. Everybody on the mainland had relations.
Why hadn't we? Was it because we lived on an island? We thought it would be so
jolly to have an uncle and aunt and some cousins. Once we asked Father about
it, but he looked so sorrowful that we wished we hadn't. He said it was all his
fault.Claude and I didn't understand what he meant.
