The Name and Origin Of Cats.

one OF the most singular proofs of the foreign
importaf'nz Z perhaps of the late arrival in
vi the cat is to be found 10 its various
es 1t is said that none OF them came
-Iom the old Aryan source from which most OF
our language is derived. Most of them, like
the familiar chat, are connected with the late
Latin catus, which took the place of the earlier
felis, when cats drove out the former foes of
rats and MICE
Ii seems to follow that cats came into the
West with the Romans, but whence did the
Romans get The name and the animal? M

The Indlsn names of the cat are not very

SNAKES are the ratters of some districts), and
the ''foe of MICE" The m st endearipg title
