Cheesebox was a stout tortoise-shell cat who lived at the edge of the wood. I do not think Cheesebox herself ever went rabbiting; she had more sense while there were rats and mice in plenty.
But she collected odds and ends for Mr. Worry Ragman, a knowing little terrier who drove about the country in a little rattling cart.
He bought rabbit skins and mole skins, rags and bones, and (oh, shocking) feathers and eggs from Cheesebox, and from Winkiepeeps, and from Tommy Brock the badger and Mr. Tod the fox.
