Big Prices For Pet Cats.

Siamese cats, with their curious
markings and loud discordant voices,
are now favorites with fashionable
women in England.
In many respects they are unique
among cats. They follow their own
crs as a dog would; they are exceed
ingly affectionate, and insist upon
being nursed. and they meow loudly
and constantly, as if trying to talk,
and to q deaf person at that.
They have more vivacity than usu-
ally falls to the lot of cats, and less
dignity. In color they vary from pale
fawn through shades of brown to
chocolate. There are two varieties.
the temple cats and the palace cats;
cbout the only difference between the
two varieties being that the palace
breed is darker in color.
The only sacred temple cats that
ever left the land of their birth were
given to DR.. Nightingale as mark Of
snecial favor by the King Of Siam.
They were named by their new owner
Romeo and Juliet, and are now the
property Of Lady Marcus Beresford.
They are very expensive. moderate
specimens selling for $50 and finely
marked ones bringing from $50 TO
$500.
Now that many ladies Of rank in
England have catterics, the price OF
high bred cats is constantly increas-
ing. Champion Lord Southampton, 4
white Persian owned by Mrs. Green
wood, was sold for $3.50 and 500 was
refused for Zaida, a former eat show
champion.
And in America. Of course, rs hign
nrices as anywhere are obtained.
