Show Calk' Intelligence. My mother used to tell a story of an old cat who nsed to sit on tiio table beside be-side her mother'a old housekeeper and play with her cotton balls (reels were not in those days). It was a common custom to stick pins or needles in these cotton balls if a pin cushion was not at ; hand. This cat, linding herself pricked with the needles when playing with these balls, used to draw them out first with her teeth in order to play with comfort. If people would treat cats as they do 'dogs, mid study them as much, they would lie repaid by the amount of intelligence and basicity shown. Spectator, Spec-tator, , i - |
