Topeka woman decided she would go
out of town for a few days and &C
cordingly pulled down the shades,
turned off the water, locked the house
up tight and took the cat over to the
neighbours.
Now the neighbor also had a cat. a
high brow Persian animal, a COW,
some chickens, a canary bird and
some lively and wide awake children,
all of which kept her busy. The first
day the Persian cat became jealous of
! the visitor and took himself off, the
second day, the canary bird disap-
peared, and the third day the Persian
cat was found half starved and
; smothered between the flour bin and
i the back of the kitchen cabinet, but
| when the fourth day arrived every
! thing went along beautifully. I'll
''if nothing else happens before the
| owner of the cat comes home. If the
Persian cat stays at home, and the
/ children behave, and the COW doesn't
act up and the visiting cat doesn't try
! to eat any of the little chickens, I'll
1 just get along fine
| The next morning, coming singing
| into the kitchen an astonishing sight
met her eyes. The cat, all alone and
unasked, had brought company to the
house. There were three little soft
! balls of fur cropping about pushing
+ their little blind eyes into the corners
and mewing plaintively. while the Wis
iting cat watched them complacently.
One more thing had happened, the cat
had had-kittens.
