Show An Inquisitive Cat Pays With Its Life Washington. An American cat that ventured Into foreign territory at the new home of the British embassy sacrificed sac-rificed all of her nine lives to the cause of curiosity when It climbed to a lofty ledge of the new structure and became marooned. There on Its perilous perch !t remained re-mained for days, meowing for help. Workmen sought to reach the cat with ladders, but In vain. Erection of a special scaffold was contemplated, but It was found a permit would be necessary neces-sary from the building Inspector's office. In the meantime the cat's nine lives were getting shorter and fewer for lack of food, and Its appeals for help grew feebler. Finally It gave up the fight and collapsed. It rolled over and hurtled through space to earth a martyr to the cause of feline lnqulsltlveness. |
