Dixie Kitten
Eva March Tappan
Read by James R. Hedrick
From the time that Dixie is a mere fluff of a kitten, domiciled in the barn, through her hardships and worries as a mother-cat, up to the proud moment of her adoption as a household pet, she is a vivid as any real tabby could be. Also, Dixie is so thoroughly entertaining that even very young children — who are up to a good many kittenish tricks themselves — are apt to find the chronicle of her life highly sympathetic. - Summary by NY Times quoted in The Book Review Digest 1910 (1 hr 23 min)

Reviews
black cats of montford
I enjoyed this sweet story of a beloved cat which was first published in 1910 per Wikipedia. It was clearly written for children, but the author must have been as fond of felines as I am, and must have spent many hours observing their interactions with both humans and other creatures. The reader reads with slowly and with professorial exactitude, which somehow suits this story.
