He would always joke around when I would pull into his driveway and say, “Please run over Jimbo! Please I beg you Brendan! I hate that cat so much.” When he would say that I would fake it and drive towards the cat, pulling away at the last moment. Jimbo was a tom-cat that wasn’t very friendly to their actual kittens.

The Cat In The Hat by Dr. Seuss, pseudonym of Theodor Seuss Geisel, tells a story of two children at home on a rainy day alone, being visited by the Cat in the Hat and the turmoil that he causes. The Cat In The Hat is clearly Geisel’s most famous book, written in 1956 and published in 1957, considered a children’s classic today.
