CATS USED LIKE HOUNDS.
Big Felines Trail, Point and Retrieve
as Well as Hunting Dogs.

T. G. Nimmo, of Sturgis, Miss,
probably has the strangest pack OF
hounds" in the United States, if not
in the world. 1t consists of two huge
domestic cats, which he has been
training for more than three years,
until they trail, point and retrieve
small game as we'll as any dogs ever
seen in Mississippi. The cats are
named Tom and Jerry and are used
principally in hunting rabbits, tree
SQUIRRELS and quail, though they have
tracked and helped kill oppossums
and raccoons, both of which are
plentiful in that part of the State.
According to their owner, who be-
gan training the cats when they were
kittens, on sight of rabbit, squirrel
or quail they assume rigid positions,
like that of a pointer, except that
they move their. tails slightly, and
wait for him to come up and shoot
the game they have found. They
have never, since he finished their
training, rushed forward to kill the
game themselves, or to attempt to
stalk it. When the shot is fired they
retrieve the fallen animal or birds,
and if it is not quite dead give it a
uuietus by biting it in the neck.
The especial value of these cats,
Mr.. Nimmo says, is in their ability
to trail, capture and kill wounded
SQUIRRELS which flee to the tree tops
after being shot. He estimates he
has secured some 200 squirrels which
otherwise would have been lost to
him during the past season by the
