And he went off into the damp, wild woods and, wagging his wild tail, wandered lonely and wild for a long time.

The tale of "The Cat Who Walked by Himself" by R. Kipling – a wonderful story, understandably telling of how wild animals have passed through many stages of their development and became domestic.The book is ideal for children of preschool and primary school age.Also, in the USSR, it was made by a cartoon.I recommend buying and reading at your leisure.
I liked this book. I advise her to read it. Because it's interesting. Now I understand why dogs always chase cats and why cats always catch mice.
The book is for a wide range of readers. Category 5+. In my subjective opinion, Rudyard Kipling is not an author of the easiest works. We read "The Cat Who Walked by Himself" together with my five-year-old son. We liked it very much. The son listened carefully and fascinated by "purring" as he went along. The wisdom and depth of the idea of this beautiful tale is lovingly told by the author and is understandable even to a child. And it is told without being overly edifying, and without flirting with the reader. Thanks to this book my son and I decided to take a live kitten into our house.
Kipling's "The Cat Who Walked by Himself."
Listen, my dear boy, listen, heed, reason, because it happened, because it happened, because it was back in that distant time when Hand Animals were Animals Wild.
The dog was wild, and the Horse was wild, and the Cow was wild, and the Sheep was wild, and the Pig was wild–and they were all wild-predatory and wandered wildly through the Wet and Wild Forests.
But the wildest was the Wildcat-it wandered wherever it pleased and walked on its own.
Man, of course, was also wild, terribly wild, terribly wild. And he would never have been tame, if it had not been for the Woman. It was she who announced to him at the first meeting that she did not like his wild life. She quickly found him a cozy, dry cave to live in, because sleeping in it was better than lying outdoors on a pile of damp leaves. She sprinkled clean sand on the floor and made a nice fire in the back of the cave.
Then she hung the Wild Horse's pelt at the entrance to the Cave, tail down, and said to Man:
– Wipe your feet, my darling, before you enter: for now we have a household.
That evening, my dear boy, they dined on wild sheep roasted on glowing stones, seasoned with wild garlic and wild pepper. Then they ate wild duck stuffed with wild rice, wild apples, and wild cloves; then the cartilage of wild bulls; then wild cherries and wild pomegranates. Then the Man, very happy, went and fell asleep by the fire, and the Woman sat down to witchcraft: she untangled her hair, took a shoulder-bone of lamb, very flat and very smooth, and began to look intently at the streaks that passed over the bone. Then she tossed some logs into the fire and piped up a song. It was the World's First Witchcraft, the First Magic Song.
And all the Wild Beasts gathered in the Wet and Wild Forest, and gathered together in one herd, and looking at the light of the fire, they did not know what it was.
– O my Friends! O my Foes! My heart tells me that Man and Woman in the big cave have lit a big fire, not for good. No, it's not good!

They made a fire in the cave, hung a skin at the entrance, and cooked a delicious dinner. In those days all the animals were wild and lived in the damp forest. Smelling the smell of roasting meat, the dog was the first to dare to approach the human cave. The woman gave him a mutton bone and offered to help him hunt during the day and guard the house at night. For this the dog was promised as many bones as he liked. A horse came next from the woods, lured by the smell of fresh grass. For this the horse must carry his masters. The cow also wanted to eat grass every day, and in return she promised to give her milk. The cat was watching everything that was going on, and he thought his companions were fools, while he himself was walking along the wild paths, wagging his wild tail. Soon the woman had a baby. He cried all the time and wouldn't let him do his business. And only a cunning cat, in exchange for milk, was able to calm the baby and even make him laugh. In spite of this, he remained a free cat, which, unlike other animals, continued to walk on its own.

The Cat Who Walked by Himself
The Cat Who Walked by Himself is a work of Kipling's that is popular throughout the world. It tells of the primitive people's domestication of animals useful to them. Only one representative remains free and yet finds a way into the cave. It is a cat that walks on its own. He makes sure that the mistress of the cave praises him three times, for which he is always provided with milk and the right to bask around the fire, as much as he wants. Only with whom the cat failed to agree and why, read the tale. It teaches responsibility, respect for other people's opinions and that you can get what you want without losing your freedom.
– Well, my sweet baby girl, now listen good and good, because everything I'm about to tell you happened and happened when our pets were still wild. The dog was wild, the horse was wild, the cow was wild, the sheep was wild, the pig was wild; they were all very, very wild animals and roamed about in the damp, wild woods, all alone, wherever they pleased. But the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. He walked around alone wherever he wanted, and all places were the same to him.
Clearly, the man was wild, too. Terribly wild. He didn't become tame until he met a woman, and she told him she didn't like leading such a wild life. She chose a good dry cave instead of the damp leaves that had formerly served as her shelter; she sprinkled its floor with clean sand and made a big fire in the back of it; before the entrance to the cave she hung a dry wild horse skin with its tail down.
– Please, my dear, when you come into our house, wipe your feet; for we have our own house and household now.
On the first evening, my dear, they ate wild ram's meat roasted on hot stones with a seasoning of wild garlic and wild pepper, and wild duck stewed with wild rice, with wild dill, with bogorod grass, and with wild gut; then they sucked the marrow from the wild bull's bone and ate everything with wild cherries and wild pomegranates. The man was pleased; he fell asleep quite happily in front of the fire, and his wife sat down and combed her hair; then she took a ram's shoulder blade, a big flat bone, looked at the strange signs scratched on it, threw some wood into the fire, and began to conjure. She sang the first magic song in the world.

"I very much want you to remember all the characters of the tale – and the cheerful ironic Storyteller, and the Man – hunter and earner, and the real hostess – Woman, and the loyal Dog, and the hardworking Cow, and the clever Horse, and the cunning Bat, and, of course, the sly, very difficult Cat, who walked by herself and wandered wherever she wanted. That's all I wanted to say. And how successful our work – judge you, our dear listeners – little and big. Rostislav Plyatt. 1. Wild Beasts 2. First Sorcery of a Woman 3. Second Sorcery of a Woman 4.

Kipling Rudyard – The Cat Who Walked by Himself
…In times long past, everyone was Wild: both men and beasts. The wild life for humans ended when Woman brought Man to a cozy Cave, where he liked it very much. The Woman became the keeper of the home, the hostess. The Wild Beasts gathered to their fire. The Wise Woman took the Dog as Friend, a helper in hunting, the Horse as Servant, and the Cow as Giver of Good Food. All of them began to serve people for food and care. The proud Cat also paid them a visit. She and the woman made a deal: milk and shelter every day in exchange not for freedom, but only three praises. But the Cat, as it is known, always walks by itself…
