Teaser and the Firecat is the fifth album released by Cat Stevens in 1971. It contains 10 songs including the hits 'Morning Has Broken', 'Moonshadow' and 'Peace Train'.

It is also the title of a children's book written and illustrated by Stevens. The story features the title characters from the album cover, top-hatted young Teaser and his pet Firecat, who attempt to put the moon back in its place after it falls from the sky.

The inside sleeve contains the lyrics of the album and a portrait of Cat Stevens. The photograph is taken by David Bailey.

In 1977 an animated version of the book, narrated by Spike Milligan, using the song 'Moonshadow', was a segment in Fantastic Animation Festival.

Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou, 21 July 1948), commonly known by his former stage name Cat Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, humanitarian, and education philanthropist. His 1967 debut album reached the top 10 in the UK. His albums Tea for the Tillerman (1970) and Teaser and the Firecat (1971) were both certified triple platinum in the US. His musical style consists of folk, pop, rock, and Islamic music.

In 1977, Stevens converted to Islam. In 1979, he auctioned all his guitars for charity and left his music career to devote himself to educational and philanthropic causes in the Muslim community.

In 2006, he returned to pop music and he dropped the surname 'Islam' from the album cover art – using the stage name Yusuf as a mononym.
