SOLVED. Ghost of Opalina: old chapter book about cat that lived 100 years and the story tells about the people that lived in the house with him. [s]

[Patricia]

read it in late 60s;
book might be from 1940s or 1950s;
cat had an old fashioned name;
the cat lived for 100 years in a house, each chapter was a different family or generation that lived with him in the house.

Thank you, but I don't think so - it was a chapter book.

Are you sure it's a cat? There is Hitty Her First Hundred Years about a doll. There is a cat in the story.

Hmmm... My friend was pretty certain that it was about a cat. It was a story tied up with the house that the cat lived in also.
