WOODS I've decided to live with the couple at the place they call "The Hut." ; I used to reside down the street but the folks moved away last June and left me to look etter myself. I kept going back to the house but the folks weren't there eid the Man who sometimes came to the house didn't like me. I was very lOnely. I'd liked to have lived with people at the east end of Hayfield 'terrace. They are good, kind people who would have given me a home but they have a yappy dog named Tiny who chased me. Finally, I went west and camped out on the corner lot at The Hut, where T found the hunting good, although I did have some altercations with that pampered Tibetha across the road, She came from Toronto and thought she owned the street. After all she is only part Persian. I belong to the Persian Dynasty and I'm a purebred Angora - Lucy calls me "a honey blonde." I belong on a elision in the parlor. When winter came I took tip my abode in the barn. ',didn't bother Much with the man called Carl, until one day before Christmas he poked his head and shoulders up into the loft looking for one of the empty boxes he throws up there. He spike to me and right away, I knew he like me, so I've been chasing him ever since and trying to get into the house. Twice T got in and' hid under the couch but the first time I saw him getting a yardstick I flew out and to the barn. He didn't see me and Lucy says he spent a whole hour lOoking under chairslor me in every room, Serve him right! ;• One day he heard me scolding that half-breed daughter of mine. He took a stick to me then, but I sent her off to fend for herself. She Is old enough. One day, Lucy told "Mr." to let me in until she saw me, She thinks I'm beautiful but when I wanted to jump up on her knee, she said "No! No!" Then 1 stopped to bite an itchy spot and, Lucy said: "She has fleas. Put her out." So I was unceremoniously turned outside, Carl said sornething about giving me some flea powder in the barn. . Next day, Carl let me into the kitchen to feed me and there was :that big yellow alley cat called Sandi. He laid back his ears and looked wicked. I just spat at him. And we were both put outside, It's something about some friends and relations being allergic to- cats; I heard them say. That old Sandi used to come and get his breakfast every morning and then "Mr," would play with him and he'd go off about his business. But since he saw me hi the house, he is jealous and he sits in the back porch most of the day just to keep me away. I thought gentlemen preferred blondes! -devoted to "Mr." I know the sound Of his eat and run out to greet him. He only has to "open the back door and I rush in from the barn to show him my :affection - and incidentally get some warm milk Or cat food, But I'm a house cat yoti IttloW. I've never been ueed to living in a 'bare. I'm an aristocrat with a pedigree and I doh% think it, quite fair that so much attention is paid to that yellow cat who has always been a wanderer. And so Mr, Editor and gentle readers that is why I am writing to you, Can you rectify the situation?
