The Calico Cat, Solomon has hated the Calico Cat ever since he bought the house in Ellmington and he has tried his very best to drive her away, but with no luck. As he tries once more to get rid of the cat, he triggers a vicious series of events that ends with lies, the arrest of a boy, and a guilty conscience.

In this humorous tale, the absurd consequences of letting frustration take over are vividly illustrated through the antics of a pompous man who, in a fit of rage, fires a shotgun at a pesky cat lounging on his fence – only to accidentally hit a man lurking in the bushes instead. What drove this man to such extremes? Who is the mysterious figure hiding nearby? And how can they both manage to sweep the entire debacle under the rug before the neighborhood starts to buzz with gossip? (Summary by Mark F. Smith)
