CITY AND COUNTRY CATS.
Many Curious Points of Difference Boz
tween the Two Animals.

An observer has noted that there ex-
ist many points of difference betweep
country and city eats. The country
cats, he declares, are larger and heavier
than those of the city; no reference
being made in this comparison TO sucD
civic cats as might come under the head
of "pampered pets" but only TO plain
cats, the cats of the back yard anG the
housetop. This superior weight of the
country cat, the observer says, is easl y
attributable to the diet of small field
animals and birds which it enjoys. But
there are other peculiarities of differ
cncc, he proceeds, which are not so
easily attributable to diet. For IN
stance, the color of the country cat IS
generally either gray or tortoise-shell'
the commoner color being gray. On
the other hand, observes the cat expert,
the preponderating color among city
cats is black.
In the next place, the color of the
ewes in city and country cats is found
to be very different. the latter leaning
largely to gray and green, while the
city cats eyes are mostly yellow, and
having far more glitter in them than
have their country cousins. In the
matter of tails, too. there is a differ
cnce, the city cats tail being much
longer and carried more nearly on
level with the back than that of the
country cat. The country cats paws are
much ilatter, broader, and softer than
the town cats, the pads of the former
being like velvet, and those of the latter
like rubber.
Altogether, between the big-barrelledr
gray, light-eyed, yelvet-footed country
cat, slipping noiselessy through the
young wheat stalks. and the scrawny,
ionghai.ed, yelow-eyed city cat patter-
ing down an alleyway like flying
shadow there are such differences as
viii, says the observer, result in time IN
the formation of two distinct species
felis rusticus and felis urbanis.
