CAT MOTHERS SQUIRRELS.

Deprived Of Her Own Children, She
Adopts Another Family.
Last spring a cat on the farm of
Albert Fisher, near Waterville, N. Y,
had several small kittens. AS the
farm was overstocked with cats her
young were taken from her and
drowned. After that the cat seemed
very unhappy, and being house ia
vorite she received considerable SYM
pathy.
One day shortly after her kittens
were taken from her young squirrel
which had fallen from it's nest in the
hollow of a tree was found and taken
to the cat with the idea that it would
be dainty morsei to tempt her ap.
petite
Instead of bouncing upon it cat
fashion she took the young squirrel
to the box where she had so recently
mothered her own young and there
bestowed upon the squirrel all the af-
lection she had previously given to
her kittens.
Stranger, STILL says a writer in
Country Life in America, in about two
hours the old cat had hunted out the
squirrels nest in a tree some distance
away and had carried the remainder
of the young squirrels in her mouth,
one at time, to her box in the house.
Then until the squirrels were nearly
full grown, the cat watched over them
with all the solicitude that is posi-
BILE fer any animal mother to show,
even providing nourishment for them
in exactly the same manner that she
had for her own young. When the
squirrels had outgrown mothers at
tention they we're tame and were
given to friends of the family.
