At the start of the collection, Kingston introduces the theme of animal sagacity through a series of anecdotes about cats and their clever actions. He recounts delightful tales of cats displaying reasoning skills, such as a cat named Deborah who learned to use the door knocker to gain access to her home and another cat that demonstrated remarkable determination while navigating a rabbit trap.
