This is a charming and ridiculous little picture-book about how a cat came to lose all 9 of its lives. It is full of detailed colorful Victorian illustrations, mostly of a cat with manlike muscle structure being nearly-killed. We are spared the actual moment of the cat's death, but the cat's ghost is pictured wailing and waving a hankerchief.
