Minnie's Pet Cat (Illustrated Edition) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Fidelle, Minnie’s second pet, was a beautiful tortoise-shell cat.She was an elegant creature. Her fur was of moderate length, of pure black, white, and reddish orange. Her eyes were large, bright, and [10]affectionate in expression. Her form was delicate, and her motions active. In character, she was the most attached, graceful little puss I ever knew.The moment Fidelle heard Minnie’s voice, she walked to the door, and was ready to welcome her, rubbing her glossy sides against the child’s feet, and making little soft notes of pleasure.Sometimes Minnie had the headache, or was tired, and lay upon the sofa; when she did so,[11] Fidelle loved to jump up and walk softly over the little figure until she came to her mistress’s face, when she quietly lay down near by, or sometimes licked her hand lovingly. She never did this to Mrs. Lee, or any other member of the family.Fidelle was an active puss, and often went bird-catching, or mousing during the night; but generally, when Minnie opened the door of her chamber in the[12] morning, there was Fidelle ready to receive her.During the warm weather, it was Minnie’s habit to take an early stroll with her father through the grounds, or to accompany him to the nursery, garden, and orchards, when he went to give orders to the men who worked for him.On such occasions, Fidelle was always on hand, sometimes running along by her side, and then[13] skipping to the top of a tree, or gamboling on before her.
