Eccentric Cats.

In the Plymouth Journal for the year
1928 writer states that "there is now at
the battery in the DEVILS Point cat which
is an expert catcher of the flnny tribe,
being in the constant habit of diving into
the sea and bringing up the fish alive in her
mouth, and depositing them in the guard
room for the use of the saiors.'' This re-
markable cat was indirectly trained by her
instructor to sport in this manner, having
long been accustomed to dive into the sea
after water rats Her love for the water,
says the writer, was as great as that of any
how the nature of the beast may be changed
by circumstances No doubt, had she had
kittens, and fish and water rats been the
only food they could obtain, they might
have followed the mothers curious habit,
and in course Of time, tho instinct be-
coming hereditary, they might have been
race of sea diving cats.
Cats can reason--or put two and two to-
gether in quiet way. Sam slick tells a
tale touching this faculty which might not
be believed were it not backed up by other
irroproachable evidence. A servant con-
tinually entering the masters library upon
the summons of the bell, and as continually
told that it had not been rung, persisted in
saying that he had heard it, the domestic
began to suspect that the house was haun-
ted and so it turned out to be--not by a
ghost, however, but 10y a cat, who, wishing
the company of her MASTER aud not being
able to gain admission by reason of the
closed door, must have noticed that when a
certain bell within her reach was rung il
was opened by the servant. Puss, noticing
cause and effect, used to ring the bell, and
always ran to the door and entered when
the servant did-the fact of the simulta-
neous entry leading, of course, to the dis
covery of her cunning trick.
This, it will be said, was but Sam
Slickism but here is a still cleverer trick,
which is related of an Anger cat belonging
to Carthusian mOnastry at Paris. This
cat having observed that the cook always
answered certain bell, just before the din
ners portioned out in plates were served ou
to the monks, leaving them in consequence
unprotected, had wit enough to take ad
vantage of this iact-for she used to ring
the bell outside the kitchen door, watch The
cook oil guard, spring through the window
help herself 10 portion, and then return
before he had time TO come back.
