The Tale of Tom Kitten

The Tale of Tom Kitten

"The Tale of Tom Kitten" is a book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was first published in 1907.

This book tells the story of three little kittens who get into mischief. Their mother (Tabitha Twitchit) grooms and dresses them up for company she is having, then sends them out with the admonishment that they not get dirty. They not only get dirty but lose their clothes to some passing ducks. When they return, she hides them upstairs and tells her company that they have the measles.

The cat family would re-appear in "The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or, The Roly-Poly Pudding". An animated adaptation of the story, shown alongside "The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck", was featured on "The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends" in 1993.
