A Kitten That Appears to BE Halt
Rabbit
John Ohsiek. who runs a grocery at Bay
and West Broad streets, has a kitten that
is something of a curiosity. 1t is small
and black and at first glance would be
taken to be just like any ordinary kitten.
A closer examination viii show, however,
that it is minis tail. nature having fail
ed to provide it with a caudal appendage.
A still closer examination will show that
the headquarters of the kitten are shaped
like those of a rabbit The kitten has no
claws on its hind feet and they are diff
ferently shaped from the front feet The
kitten has rather awkward
walk, but squats on its hindquarters
like a rabbit and jumps like one. The
kitten seems to realize that there is
something wrong ila--Ais-4lsl<eup as he is
very shy and does not like to be handled.
1t somewhat resembled Bob Hicks sup
posed Porto Rican feline,
Mr.. Ohsiek also has a parrot which was
recently brought from Ponce. Porto Rico,
