Kilkenny was garrisoned by a troop Of

in barracks by tying two cats together

a clothes line to fight. The officers,
hearing of this cruel practice, resolved
to stop it. AS he entered the room one
of the troopers, seizing a sword, cut the
tails in two as the animals hung across
the line. The two cats escaped, minus
their tails, through the open window,
