Dowling Pub. Howard Frisch, NY, 1962Book Flap: "Almost everyone who has read Mr. Cat has wanted to know more about that doughty feline citizen who lived for almost eighteen years with George Freedley. Was there more to be said? Mr. Freedley protested...but the friends of Mr. Cat would not be silenced. So here it is, more about that crisp and no-nonsense personality. When Mr. Cat departed this earth in the fullness of his years, no one thought another cat could take his place. None could, but along came Princess Amber, who promptly made a place all her own. So here, too, is a bit of Amber, the lovely Persian given to George Freedley by friends who saw he needed her, and who arrived with her secret: four kittens who were to be born on the kitchen floor at Fire Island, thoughtfully outwitting Hurricane Donna by two days."Victor J.
