From the title story sample the following: The night was a dead as a doornail and Lady Tranquility took her seat in the neighborhood, Dag, a frustrated cat in the pool of old age, had nothing better to do than lie on the rooftop of a bungalow that was begging for renovation.
The cat gazed at the beautiful earth that spread before him as if it were a balance sheet under the nose of a shrewd accountant, Dag was not alone. Other cats that had also known misfortune lay around the old cat like a pasture clothed with flocks, Dag cleared his throat and said, I have no passion for living anymore, How can we exist without offending That is for the next world! said Fred as he scratched his hindquarter, Raising his head and yawning, Pork said, It is impossible to walk through life without enemies, It may be better to live in isolation, Bt I have yet to see an isolated man who is happy, Dag sighed as if the hands of impossibility had challenged his, Did I tell you my master has not fed me for two nights he asked his friends, No, but I have heard that bedtime story before, said Pork as he sighed and turned away, “I will never forget what that old man did to me, said Dag as he shook hi s head, I have never seen you in this mood, said Pork, Tell us, what did he do to you Three nights ago I chased a rat in his kitchen, The little devil disappeared into a hole in the wall, which was near my masters sop pot, I wanted to leave the kitchen, but I knew that as soon as Id gone, the rat would come out of the hole and devour the sop, So I stayed back to keep vigil over the old mans meal and possibly snuff the life out of the foolish rat if he ventured out of hiding.
As I lay silently in the corner, hoping I would take care of the unfortunate sol of the opportunity presented itself, I heard a squeak and was not disappointed when I raised my head and saw the rat.
It was heading towards the sop pot on the table, Seeing that the rat was too close to the pot, I pounced, Etc

One menace, Flinz, killed so many cats and caused heartaches for cats who wanted peace and to get alone with fellow cats and humans, How can one cat be so vicious Uwvigiaren has many themes running through these six stories: Courage, survival, friendship, destiny, hard work, forgiveness, death, strange coincidences are just a few.
