This book talks about an old man named Mr. Putter who got an old yellow cat named Tabby and enjoyed the company of each other. Mr. Putter wants a cat because he is alone. He goes to the pet store and there has a lot of kittens but there have no cats because cats aren’t cute or peppy. He wanted an older cat who was quiet and in need of companionship – just like him.

Mr.Putter takes the old cat home and named Tabby, So he can share the English muffin, good tea, and wonderful stories with Tabby.

Last but not least, I learn that people can live in harmony with some animals. In the story, Mr. Putter and Tabby keep company. They eat English muffins in the mornings, drink good tea in the afternoons, and share the most wonderful stories in the evenings.
