Most of Cat's adventures unfold over four pages, the first presenting Cat and an adversary ("Cat. Sprinkler"), then the reverse ("Sprinkler. Cat"), next an escape ("High fence"), and finally the refrain: "Thank goodness for that!" The humor is elucidated in the richly colored green- and brown-tinged gouache and pen-and-ink illustrations that move the action along from one episode to another.
