The Adventures of Tiger and Kitty is a tale of a cat, Tiger, who only wanted a friend, for the alley was a friendless place for a cat to be. He knew this to be a very true fact, indeed, since he had spent almost a year living in alleys behind houses just like Kitty’s. Tiger knew when people stopped to look at him, if they even bothered to stop at all, they only saw him as an unlovable alley cat who they neither wanted to pet nor play with. He had forgotten what it was like to have a friend to frolic with in the fields, until he met Kitty that one fateful day.
