Chesterton Home Mystery


I am currently trying to figure out if the Chesterton's had cats.

I know they had dogs, Quoodle was one of them, but in reading Chesterton's poetry, it would appear he might have also had cats, possibly even four cats.

If anyone knows anything about the pets at the Chesterton home, let me know.

  2. Thanks, Christopher, yes, they had a donkey named Trotsky, and I just found in Ahlquist's book they had a cat named Perky. The other dog was named Winkle.

    Hi, Nancy! Merry Christmas!

    I love many of Uncle Gilbert's poems, but I can't think of which ones hint that he must have owned cats. May I ask which ones you mean? =) Thanks!
