In the Swedish version,it says that "The cat ran away to the woods and Never came back again...(and then in smaller text it goes on to say:)... but in the end he maybe did come back after all.<br />So the original ending is not quite so grim and final even though she was really angry with her wee kitty.:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322378238173133239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059731033561256727.post-32465225868641288222013-10-18T00:06:39.102-05:002013-10-18T00:06:39.102-05:00Newest follower, great vintage book, I collect vin...Newest follower, great vintage book, I collect vintage books, especially fables.

I think that's why I find the story kind of disturbing. Non-cat-lovers will probably think the Wee Old Woman did the right thing!

Your blog was my first read and I think this story is going to carry me through the day. There are times that my four wee cats could run away from home and this wee old woman might live a more peaceful life but of course she would be sad - how about you??
