Chapter 5 - Cathy Queen of Cats

Esperanza describes Cathy, a girl who believes she is the great great grand cousin of the queen of France, and a girl whose pompous air makes Esperanza feel badly about herself. Cathy owns a menagerie of cats and informs Esperanza about all the people of the neighborhood before she moves away next Tuesday, because the neighborhood is getting bad. Esperanza feels like she is moving farther north on Mango Street because of people like her own family moving in.
