Saki's Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the
undisputed master of the short story. 'Tobermory', one of Saki's
most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from
granting cats the power of speech - animals have long lurked
unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in 'The
Philanthropist and the Happy Cat' is the only one to enjoy his
meal, as is the leopard in 'The Guests'. In 'The Penance' and 'Mrs
Packletide's Tiger', hunters who put cats in their sights are
humiliated and blackmailed. 'The Achievement of the Cat' considers
how cats have come to be served by the human race. In addition to
the short stories about cats, Saki's Cats also collects Saki's
juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted
while living in Burma. The feisty felines of these tales are the
only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of
his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail
between its legs.
