Ways of a Captive Wildcat.

Everybody has heard of Mic Arend's
wildcat. The cat was given Mo some
months ago, and ever since has been
living on the fat of the land. The
cook, q colored woman, at Mos place
feeds the cat, which has manifested q
great fondness for her. When she ap-
proaches the cage he purrs in the most
pleasant manner, but if anybody else
comes about him he Immediately
growls and shows his wicked looking
fangs. The cat il perfectly satisfied
with his home, Two or three times
his cage door has been accidentally
left open. but he never eve walked
outside to see what the rest of the
world looked like. However, whenever
1t occurred that the cage door was left
open, Mo always missed a chicken.
The other day he saw the cat catch
one. He simply crouched down by
the door and waited until the chicken,
obiivious Of danger, came along, and
then he shot out his paw and had the
chicken by the head. After he catches
and kills the fowl he picks all the
feathers off it almost as carefully as q
cook, and uses his mouth ia the opera
ton while holding the bird between
his paws,-Norida Times-U Union.
