CAREFUL OF TAIL NOT THERE
Effect Of Hereditary's Impression on
Offspring of Manx Cat.

OUoP'iH9 VI Walk Sdts
ut Is well known that Manx cats
have no tails" says writer In the
Scientific American, "only slight
stumps. and that the offspring OF such
in other parts of the world, In the
first generation at least. are in the
same abnormal condition. While liv-
ing in Scotland thirty years ago we
had Manx kitten given TO us which,
although born there, was tailless.
The door of our breakfast room was
spring shutting, like most OF the
screen doors in this country. but open.
ing only toward the inside. Before
the kitten was full grown he had
learned TO let himself in by pushing
from the outside, but never learned
although We often tried to teach
him, TO pull it open from the inside.
1T was not, however, the opening
of the door from the outside to which
/ wish to call attention-any cat
could have easily learned to do that /;
but the fact that invariably, after he
lad pushed it and got his body par
tally in, he made a rapid turn or
whirl TO prevent the tail that was not
there (but heredity impressed on him
the fact that it ought to have been)
from being caught between the clos.
ing door and its frame.
This he did dozens of times every
day so long as We had him, and was
always willing to show off before our
visitors, as he never seemed to recog.
nize the fact that he had not a tail
like his neighbors"
