"Are cats to be trusted?"
A question like this, which to kitty is a most
momentous one, affecting not only her comfort
and happiness, but her standing as a social per
and her very existence itself, cannot be treated
lightly in a work like mine. My own opinion is.
and always has been that if cats are properly
fed and cared for, they will do anything rather
than steal. However, I was not content with
providing just my own experience in this
volume, since some might say my cats have
been exceptional. Instead, I placed cats in court
as it were, and given them a long fair, and
impartial trial. For several months, I have
summe evidence for and against cats
honesty from people all throughout Great
Britain and Ireland.
