The sequel to "The Cat who Came for Christmas" and "The Cat and the Curmudgeon" tells of Cleveland Amory's travels with his cat, Polar Bear, to reunions at Milton Academy and Harvard, recalling his prep school and university days. With the help of Katherine Hepburn and her family, he landed a plum editorial job right out of college with the "Saturday Evening Post" and soon was spending a summer in France hobnobbing with celebrities as a guest of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Later, Amory achieved his own fame, spending 14 years as a critic for "TV Guide". The two concluding chapters deal with the declining health of both Amory and Polar Bear, and the adoption of a new waif, Tiger Bear.
