A Fish-Catching Cat.

An instance of extraordinary animal
instinct and intelligence is reported
from Glendale, Ulster county. Mrs.
Sarah Brown, of that village, has a
large Maltese cat that is the mother of
three kittens now nearly half grown.
1t was noticed lately that the old cat
was RECALLING her offspring with some
fine specimens Of perch and sunish,
which she brought in nice and fresh
daily, one day coming in with seven.
She was watched and it was found that
she caught the fish herself in Famine
millpoLd, near the village. The pond
had Seen drained down quitc low lately
and the Cat would crouch down at the
edge of the water and when fish came
along within reach she would spring
upon it in the water and rarely miss
her aim. She struck the fish first with
her claws, and then dipped her head
under the water, took her prey in her
mouth and swan ashore.
Besides fish, the cat serves her fami-
ly with birds, not less than two of
which she provides every day. The
most remarkable fact about the cat,
however, is the system she has adopted
in feeding her kittens. When she
comes in with small meal she will not
permit any miscellaneous scramblino
after it, by which one kitten might get
more than its mates, but she lays the
fish or bird before one of the young
ones. The other two she obligcs to re-
main quietly ut distance while the one
is eating, enforcing her authority
against any protest on their part by
frequent cuttings. When the kitten has
eaten one-third of the meal, the old cat
removes the dinner and places it in
front OF another kitten which eats its
third unmo!ostcd, when the third kit
tens turn comes. The kitten tina, J.,
served first on one day becomes last on
the list the next day, and that rotation
Is maintained with unvaryng impair
TALLY day after day. -M,id ctoWn M
