Mammy Tittleback and Her Family - Helen Hunt Jackson - Bog

Mammy Tittleback is a splendid great tortoise-shell cat, -yellow and black and white; nearly equal parts of each color, except on her tail and her face. Her tail is all black; and her face is white, with only a little black and yellow about the ears and eyes. Her face is a very kind-looking face, but her tail is a fierce one; and when she is angry, she can swell it up in a minute, till it looks almost as big as her body
