In the story, a mother cat dresses her playful kittens in fine clothes in preparation for a tea party. Left by themselves afterward, the kittens quickly manage to not only soil their clothes but lose them altogether. Beatrix Potter had borrowed a kitten from a workman to model for her previous tale, The Story of Miss Moppet (1906). The illustrations for Tom Kitten combine the drawings she created during that time with the interior and exterior sketches of the Hill Top farmhouse, her beloved country residence.

Left by themselves afterward, the kittens quickly manage to not only soil their clothes but lose them altogether. Beatrix Potter had borrowed a kitten from a workman to model for her previous tale, The Story of Miss Moppet (1906). The illustrations for Tom Kitten combine the drawings she created during that time with the interior and exterior sketches of the Hill Top farmhouse, her beloved country residence. The Tale of Tom Kitten was adapted with The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck (1908) as the third episode of the BBC television series The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. The episode first aired in the United Kingdom on July 22, 1992. Tom Kitten and his family also appear in the 1908 book The Tale of Samuel Whiskers or The Roly-Poly Pudding.
