Beschreibung

This antiquarian book is a reprint of the original. So popular was this book that between the original publication in 1920 and 1931 that it had no less than 6 reprints. This book tells about the adventures of three kittens named Jazbury, Fluffy and Yowler. Our story begins with Jazbury, his mother: Mother Bunch and Aunt Tabby in their comfortable human home. Jazbury is being scolded because he is dirty after playing in the coal bin and he is instructed to wash himself clean unless he wants their human mistress to do it for him with water. Being drenched with water is a fearful threat so Jazbury does as he is told. Jazbury's best friend is a little white kitten who lives next door named Fluffy. Mother and Aunt Tabby encourage Jazbury playing with Fluffy because they think he is nice and well-behaved. He is a gentle little kitten who never teases or makes fun of anyone. Yowler, a rough-looking yellow cat, belongs to the baker who lives further down the street. Mother and Aunt Tabby do not want Jazbury to play with Yowler because they think he is a very coarse, noisy cat. This book tells of their adventures and how they became lost in the woods. It tells of some scary moments and, how, after many days hunting for food and enduring long, cold, wet nights, they desperately want to find their way home but they are afraid they are hopelessly lost. Do they find they way home? Well, you’ll have to download this story and find out for yourself!

Jazbury, Fluffy and YowlerFrontispiece

The cat people always had very good meals

Fluffy set out along the top of the fence, walking very slowly

The rat looked at him with a wicked grin

He knocked against a tin pan that clattered down with a tremendous din

He dreamed he was trying to run down a road toward a wood and a dog was after him--two dogs

It seemed as though any moment the dog's teeth might close on the kitten

Fluffy dropped the bird and put his paw on it

He turned on them so fiercely that they were frightened

They were almost hidden by the dusty weeds

He spit and mewed and fought, but she held him there

They saw Jazbury dragging something in from the shed beyond

Three Little Kittens

I

Jazbury came scampering gaily up the stairs to where his mother and Aunt Tabby were sitting on the window-sill washing their faces and cleaning their fur.

Jazbury was a small black kitten with white markings on his face and breast, and soft little white paws. Soft as those little paws were there were sharp, needle claws hidden in their velvet, and Jazbury knew how to use them when necessary, too.

Mother Bunch's tail hung down from the window-seat, waving softly. It looked almost like a mouse, so soft and grey. Jazbury made a jump, and caught it with his claws. His mother growled and drew her tail up and curled it around her.

Jazbury jumped up after it, and tried to tease his mother into playing with him.

"Jazbury, you haven't washed yourself this morning," said his aunt severely. "Look at your paws. You've been in the coal-bin again, you naughty kitten."

"Well, I thought I heard a mouse there," mewed Jazbury.

"A mouse! What would a mouse be doing in the coal-bin? No, you just wanted an excuse for clambering about among the coal and making it rattle. And now look how dirty you are."

"Sit down and make yourself clean, Jazbury," said his mother. "No; let my tail alone. I'm not going to play with you. And if you want any breakfast you'd better make haste to wash yourself. I will not have such a dirty kitten eating from the saucer with me."

Jazbury sat down and began to wash his face with one of his grimy little paws.

His aunt sighed. "Paws first," she said. "You'll only make yourself dirtier if you try to wash your face before you clean your paws."

"Oh, dear me!" mewed Jazbury crossly.

"I really don't know what's going to become of you if you don't keep yourself cleaner," his aunt went on. "I'm really afraid something terrible may happen to you. I knew a cat once who wouldn't wash herself, and so her mistress used to do it for her with water, so she was wet all over. Water and soap! And a sponge! How would you feel if that happened to you some day? And it may unless you learn to keep yourself cleaner."

Jazbury was frightened at the thought that such a thing might happen to him, too, if he didn't keep himself clean, and he set about washing himself in earnest. First he washed his paws, and after he had cleaned them he cleaned his face, licking his paw with his little pink tongue, and curling it round over his furry little cheeks and forehead and chin and even behind his ears. By breakfast time he was clean enough to be allowed to eat with his mother and Aunt Tabby.

The human people and the cat people had their breakfast at the same time. The human people had theirs in the dining-room, and the cat people had theirs in the pantry. The cat people always had very good meals; bread and milk, and fish twice a week, and sometimes meat and potatoes.

"What's the use of my bothering to catch mice?" Jazbury often said. "I get all I want to eat anyway."

And his aunt would answer, "You ought to feel grateful enough for your good meals to want to catch mice for people."

But Jazbury paid little attention to such advice. All he cared for was having a good time and play about, and if mice had to be caught he left it to his mother and Aunt Tabby to do it.

The cat people always had very good meals
