STORY OF THE FAMOUS
CATS OF KILKENNY

For more than a century tho Kilkenny
cats, which fought until there was moth
ing left OF them but their tails" have
been regarded as the most quarrelsome
creatures OF which there is any record.
Various accounts Of their memorable
encounter have appeared from time TO
time but the version which Is given the
most credence is that offered by a writer
in the Irish Nation. The story is as fol-
lows:
The story has been so long curren that
Il has become proverb-"as quarrel
some as the Kilkenny cats" two OF
the cats in which city are asserted 10
have fought so long and so ferociously
that naught was found OF them but their
tails.
The facts are these: During the re-
bellion which occurred in Ireland In 1898.
Kilkenny was garrisoned by a regiment
Of Hessian soldiers, whose custom 10 was
TO tie together. In one OF their barrack-
rooms, two cats by their respective tails,
and then throw them face 10 face across
a line generally used for drying clothes.
The cats naturally became infuriated
and scratched each other In tho abdomen
until death ensued TO one or both OF them.
The officers were made acquainted with
the barbarous acts Of cruelty, and re-
solved to put an end 10 them. For this
each barrack room daily and report its
state The soldiers. determined not TO
lose the daily torment Of the cats. gen
orally employed one OF their comrades 10
watch the approach Of their officer
On one occasion he neglected his duty,
and the officer was heard ascending the
stairs while the cats were undergoing
their customary torture. One OF the
troopers seized a sword from the arm
rack and with a single blow divided the
tails OF the cats.
The cats escaped through the open
windows OF the room, which was entered
instantly afterward by the officer. who
inquired what was the cause OF the two
bleeding cats tails being suspended on
the line. and was told An reply that tive
cats had been lighting In the room. that
II was found impossible to separate them
and they fought SO desperately that they
had deyoured each other up, with The ex
ception OF their two tails.
