In feline terms, Abigayil the cat tells of the birth of Jesus in her stable, and how the infant wondrously cured her wounded paw. Apart from some pointless and unnecessary additions such as a recitation of the preamble to the National Constitution of Cats, the spirit as well as the details of the Christmas story have been appealingly recreated. Cat lovers will enjoy the three color illustrations of the slinky abigayil and her fluffy kittens.
