Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sally in her fur coat" by Eliza Orne White is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows orphaned twin kittens—sensitive, quick Sally and her confident brother Oxford Gray, Junior—as they find a home with kind humans and navigate small adventures indoors and out. Warm, humorous, and sprinkled with verse, it lingers on everyday wonders, friendship, and the comforts (and challenges) of domestic cat life. The opening of the story introduces the kittens’ plight and their rescue: after wandering hungry, they are spotted by a neighbor, brought to the gray house on the hill, and gently taken in by Elvira, Miss Harvey, and the initially reluctant Miss Winifred. Settling into their new home, they cause mishaps (a toppled candlestick, an alarming clock chime), receive treasured catnip mice, and witness a first snowstorm from cozy windows. A stray rival, Peter, spars with Oxford and later slips indoors during a blizzard, while a new marvel—the radio “loud speaker”—arrives to fascinate Sally. At New Year’s Sally resolves to “brace up” and catch a mouse; she finally does, only for Oxford to bat it away at the last moment. These early chapters paint a gentle, episodic portrait of kittenhood—household routines, seasonal changes, small triumphs and stumbles—culminating in the fresh tension of a neighbor’s dog named Spot.
