Subject: A Most Eloquent Pussy Cat
Little Helen's Pussy tells the tale of her time when her owner was away, revealing how cats were often treated poorly back then. There's a rather shocking element to it that may be upsetting for younger children, but on the whole Miss Pussy reveals herself to be a dainty and dauntless cat.

Subject: Emily's Childhood Friend
Helen Hunt Jackon's mother penned the cat letters in the late 1830s.
See several references in the text to the Dickinson family; Emily's father, that is.
The author was very close to E.D. throughout life.
She bears looking-up--had a most interesting and vigorous life. A great woman.
