520			_a"Catty Atkins" by Clarence Budington Kelland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Catty Atkins, who, alongside his father, leads a nomadic existence marked by a lack of stability and a struggle for respectability in their small town. Their unconventional lifestyle comes under scrutiny when they are labeled as "shiftless" or "tramps" by local residents, leading to themes of social class, identity, and the pursuit of belonging. At the start of the novel, the main character, Catty, is seen attempting to shoot a bottle with a new rifle, an exercise that illustrates his early frustrations and innocence. His encounter with another boy, Wee-wee Moore, introduces him as someone who is curious about the world but also grappling with the stigma of his family's lifestyle. The narrative quickly explores Catty's relationship with his father, showcasing their playful banter and the father's humorous yet misguided philosophy about a "shiftless" life. As they navigate social challenges and confront judgments from the townspeople, including an outright eviction order from the town marshal, Catty's desire to prove their worth and create a respectable life sets the stage for their journey toward self-discovery and community acceptance.
