A Cat May Look At A King
A Cat May Look At A King was written by Jan Struther in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Struther also created the character, Mrs. Miniver, popular in the late 1930s and 1940s. In this story, a royal court cat blindly worships and unquestioningly trusts the King, until the King kicks him. At that point, a new perspective is formed for both the cat and the King. Through their conversations, and wisdom gained from the cat's point-of-view, the King and the Kingdom are changed for the better, forever.
