Translated by Marianne Martens.
Pitschi, dissatisfied with being a kitten, decides in turn to be a rooster (but doesn't like cockfights), a goat (but doesn't want to be milked), and a duck (but nearly drowns). Fussed over and given a party, at last she is happy to be herself. Six-color lithographs capture the acrobatics and attitudes of cats and are replete with child-appealing details.
