Cat Adopts a Rabbit,
Her Owners Found
Deserted
iNEs4sT1FE. ps5oToI

Here's an appropriate Easter
story:
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Roger Spates,
of Rockville, Nd, own a cat and
j a rabbit. Several days ago the
cat became the mother of three
kittens. On the same day the
rabbit, only a day old, was
found, evidently deserted.
The rabbit was placed with
the mother cat. At first the
little bunny was passed unno-
ticed. The cat gave indications
that it resented the intrusion,
but made no effort to GUST the
newcomer.
This situation did not con-
tinue. The cat finally "adopt-
ed" the rabbit and now clicks"
the cottontail animal and cares
for it as she does for her own
offspring.
All of which is further proof
that there is an exception to
every rule, the rule being that
cats always seek to devour rab-
bits.
