"Beware the Cat" is a modernized extract from a reprint based upon a 1570 edition. The editor states that the story was originally published in 1551 which is unlikely because the 1570 edition specifically references events of December 1552. There is also no completely reliable evidence for a 1561 edition. The first physically verifiable edition is the Wylliam Gryffith edition of 1570 for which there is an existing title page.
