CATS FOLLOW FISH DEALER
Animals Of shsepshead Bay Regular
ly Take the Trail of the Peddler
of Sea Food.

Like the pied piper. the Sheepshead
Bay fish dealer has following of cats
as he pushes his cart through the res
idence section ON Friday morning, says
the New York Sun. The cats for
blocks away hear his shrill cry OF
Fresh fish," or perhaps smell his car
60 and come slyly through the streets
for a chance at delectable bit of sea
food.
When the fishman gets n customer
he cleans and scales the fish on the
ground. This is the chance Tor the
neighbOrhOOd cats. Their part OF the
feast consists of the discarded heads
and tails of fluke and sea bass.
Obtaining a priced portion, most Of
the cats break for home TO enjoy the
repast. while others not so fortunate
hang on the peddler's heels and fol-
low him about until he finally makes
a sale and permits them TO profit on
his loss.
