JEALOUS CAT KILLED RIVAL.
Did Not Like the Attentions the New
Arrival Was Receiving.

Did Not Like the Attentions the New
Arrival Was Receiving.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
The fury of a woman scorned" Is often
spoken of as something to be feared, but,
judging from tragedy enacted In an East
Side residence yesterday, 1t Is not in 1t with
the anger of q common cat when 1t realizes
that the place 1t once filled in the affections
of its owner has been taken by another and
perhaps pretter cat.
Old Dick, big yellow cat, is the property
of an East Side young woman and for a
number of months past has been the whole
thing around the house. so far as pets were
concerned. He had his own dish for milk,
his own rug, and was pretty lucky feline,
take it any way you would. His favorite
resting place was in the lap OF his mistress,
and when she recently brought home a
little gray kitten. of which she made much.
Old Dick manifested his displeasure in a
variety of ways.
His disposition seemed to change. and in
stead of following his mistress around the
house. as he had been in the habit of do
ing, ne simply turned his back upon her.
Several times the young woman caught the
old fellow in tie act of cutting the new ar
rival, and for this she reproved him sharp
ly. Finally the little kitten was unmo-
Tested when the mistress was around. but
the old cat manifested his anger In other
directions
Yesterday morning the young woman had
the kitten in her lap. petting it and calling
1t endearing names, when Old Dick entered
the room. He began to srOwl when he saw
the tenderness with which the kitten was
treated. and then tried to induce the young
woman to pet him instead of the kitten.
HIS attempt was failure, however, and
then the old cat went almost wild with
rage.
With a single bound he was in the lap of
the young woman, who lost her presence of
mind and began to scream. fearing the old
cat was shout to attack her. Selling the
kitten by the back, Old Dick jumped to the
floor. and, holding the kitten down by his
front paws, deliberately tore open the little
animals neck. killing it In q few seconds.
As soon as the kitten was dead the old cat
looked at the body for moment and then
disappeared through the open door, and has
not been seen since.
The tragedy was clearly the result of an
ger on the part of Old Dick, who up to the
present time had never been known to get
into quarrel with another cat. In fact,
he was 50 gentle that his name was a syn
onym for all that was gentle and mild, and
his behavior can be explained on no other
theory than that he was driven insane by
Jealousy.
