Summary "The Calico Cat" by Charles Miner Thompson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Solomon Peaslee, a man who, despite his attempts at self-importance and community standing, is a figure of comedic folly who faces unexpected complications when he accidentally shoots a man while trying to hit a troublesome cat. Through humorous interactions with his wife and neighbors, the narrative explores themes of ambition, shame, and the folly of pride. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mr. Peaslee, who is eagerly anticipating his role as a grand juror, filled with a desire for recognition and respect in his community. However, this self-importance becomes complicated when he accidentally shoots a man named Peter Lamoury while aiming at the Calico Cat that has been a nuisance in his life. As Mr. Peaslee navigates the aftermath of this incident, including avoiding suspicion and grappling with the potential consequences for both himself and his neighbor's son, Jim Edwards, the plot builds tension and humor, setting the stage for a comedic unraveling of the situation.
