cat-not exactly tiger, but as nearly
like one as possible"
"Some cats are very much like IT,
gers, think" said Nick. "And often
they look more wild, though, Of course,
sometimes they look so sleepy and
comfortable and as If nothing in the
world would make them move"
"This cat wasn't wild, though" said
Daddy. 'In fact he was very sleepy,
lazy sort of cat, fond Of eating and
sleeping. of being petted and smoothed
and stroked."
"And why was he called Tiger?"
asked the children.
"Because his markings were so like
tiger. He was far more Ike a tiger
in looks than he was like cat, but
in his ways he was certainly like
what is known as a very domestic cat.
which means cat who loves his home
and the fireplace, or kitchen stove.
