"The Cat Who Sang."

A late comic tale, in which a overworked teacher hallucinates that his black cat Susie is able to sing Schubert's "Trout" theme (which however is rendered inaccurately, both in notes and rhythm, in the musical notation appearing in the story).

While neither his vet or his fiancee can hear anything more than "unbottled echoes of distant caterwaulings on cold moonlight nights," another young woman catches a husband with a more favorable response and by dying her hair jet black.

In Argosy (June 1963), The Fabulous Mrs V (1964).
