“Don’t be upset, master. Just get me a pouch and have a pair of boots made up so that I can get through the underbrush easily, and you’ll see that you really don’t have a bad deal.” This was said by Master Cat in the story “Master Cat” or “Puss in Boots.” The reason for this being said is that, the cats master is the son of a mill worker who had passed away.
