Having been introduced in a previous collection of essays, here the famous cat
Polar Bear must cope with celebrity; his owner Cleveland Amory carries the
search for Polar Bear's horoscope to no less a source than the First Lady; and
however unlikely, romance comes into Amory's life and Polar Bear takes matters
into his own paws. Cleveland Amory was no pussycat. The author of such social
histories as The Proper Bostonians and Who Killed Society? he had, in fact, a
carefully cultivated reputation for being a dyed-in-the-wool curmudgeon. His one
weakness: a bedraggled white feline named Polar Bear, in every way his grumpy
equal, whom he found one Christmas. Amory's essays on being owned by this
persnickety puss are celebrated for their charm and hilarity. The author founded
the Fund for Animals in 1967
