"Jiggs was borne into a litter of kittens in 1927, at the Pigeon Point lighthouse along the central California coastline. He immediately endeared himself to the Lighthouse operator’s son, 6-year-old George Henderson by his unusual personality. In 1930, the Henderson’s moved to the Point Lomas Lighthouse where Jiggs continued to gain recognition from his crazy antics... A Lesson For Jiggs, is a phantom story about Jiggs, a real life cat. The real Jiggs was by anyones definition a character, and like most cats lived by the rules written only for cats when time began. The Jiggs that exists in the mind of the author may be exaggerated but should not be unfamiliar to cat lovers. The personification of Jiggs, for purposes of a child's story, attempts to show that his traits are not as well tolerated in human kind. An attempt is made to have the young mind question Jiggs prejudgement of occurrences as how it effects him and his life and not the potential benefit to others. The Black Crow is a messenger existing in the mind of Jiggs, more commonly called a conscience as we know it. The correct choices in life, be they ever so small, help establish a foundation for the young mind to flourish as adults."--Amazon.
