The Cat from the Slums

The story about a cat from the slums, who was passed off as a purebred Royal Analostanka, is one of Seton-Thompson's most famous novellas. But, like most of Thompson's stories, this is not just a tale about a lonely kitten. It's a story about will and love for life. About how life in a golden cage - even with plenty of cream - is valued by someone less than freedom in the back alleys.
The collection also includes stories about the life of a partridge rooster named Redneck; about a puppy named Chinka, whose owner forgot him for almost a week; about a coyote named Tito, who learned the behavior of humans and managed to survive among them; about a noble deer from the Sandy Hills, who was hunted; about the adventures of a hare with the strange nickname Jack - Battle Horse; and about a brave black-and-tan fox named Domino... Will they be able to overcome fate or will they lose?..

Ernest Seton-Thompson was born in the United Kingdom, but when he was about six, his family moved to Canada. The boy often spent time in the woods near his home, first because he was afraid of his hot-tempered father, and then because he enjoyed observing the life of wild animals. He often drew animals and even studied visual arts in Paris for about five years. He always wrote stories: about the life of Native Americans, the adventures of boys, but most of all - about the life of wild animals that he loved, studied, and protected through his creativity.
