How High Can . Cat Jsnpi

That birds, however apparently safe
ly hung in cages, are unsafe from the
skill and cunning of the cat, may be
gathered from many instances of the ex-
traorlinary leaps they are capable Of
making to attain their prey. We. are
told by reliable authority that when
his cat was year old, he was seen sew
eral days in succession to take his posi-
ton on showcase A feet high, licking
his chops, while watching . canary in
a cage suspended from the ceiling 8feet
from the case. The ceiling was Ii feet
high from the floor, and the cage an
ordinary cylindrical one. While thus
observing the cat, and thinking how re-
mote was his chances Of plumber, the
animal suddenly sprang at the cage and
caught his claws in it. !. His weight
swung the cage up against the ceiling,
spilling seed and water, and terrifying
the canary. After swinging to and fro
for several times the cat dropped to the
floor uninjured. Our informant meas
ured the distance from the top Of the
cage, and found it to be 10 feet; SO that
the cat made an ascent of feet in 8,
or upon an incline of nearly IS degrees.
The surprise here is that the bird
escaped, for it is during its terror, and
while beating itself from side to side OF
the cage, that the hooked claws Of the
cat are prepared to receive it; and if
any portion of the bird is caught, it is
rapidly pulled through the wire, and
the cat and bird disappear before the
spectator can recover his astonishment.
