AN INTELLIGENT At. That Belfast can
claim an unusual number of handsome and
intelligent cats is well known fact, and
among the most accomplished of these pets
is "Skeeters," formerly owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred NJ. Ferguson, who now
dard. 'Skeeters" is a large and handsome
black and white angors. with very intelll-
gent face When his mistress holds a bit
of meat in her hand and tells him to roll
over, down on the floor he goes and over
and over he rolls until he thinks he has
earned the meat, and picks himself up to
get it, command to wave his paw is
likewise promptly obeyed. 'Skeeters" then
sits on his hind feet, puts his head on one
side, coaxingly, and waves one paw up and
down vigorously until he is rewarded.
Another of his stunts is playing ball. When
told to 'play ball' he mounts a stool, and
balances himself on his hind feet, leaning
forward with his paws stretched out in
front in the position OF a base ball catcher
till his mistress throws the meat for him to
catch. "Skeeters' is the pride of his mis-
tress and the delight of her friends, for
whom he is always willing to perform.
