Shireen and her Friends: Pages from the Life of a Persian Cat

You will enjoy this story about a Persian cat named Shireen and all of her little cat and dog friends. Excerpt: "Fresh Arrival (looking astonished): «My name is Cracker. My breed is the Airedale terrier. I come from Yorkshire. I have fought and slain an otter single-handed. I'm a terrible fellow when I'm put out. I must kill rats, and—listen—sometimes even cats!» Shireen (purring louder than ever): «Oh, I daresay and, indeed, Cracker, some cats deserve to be killed. But I'm Shireen. Nobody ever kills me. What a nice good-natured face you have! Just let me rub my back against your chest. So—and—so! I'm sure we shall be tremendous friends, and you might do me a favor if you care to.»
