Do not .turn /run eakes out of part, PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle There's something comfortable look- ing about cats around a farm, As far as Lazy Meadows ,is concerned, there is quite a society set up in connection with the cats. There are two distinct classes of cats around the place. In the first place we have three barn cats. There is' old Tdmmy with the chewed up ears and aface that has sur- vived hundreds of nocturnal squabbles. He's a bit battered up and holds the reputation for fighting around the barn, Every cat around here is afraid of him and yet he dare not venture up to the house. He knows his place as well. Tabby is the house cat, She is a matronly Persian and she shares hon- ors at the house with Spot, a small black and white kitten that Patricia Ann favors. Tabby now and again me- anders down as far as the barn. She pays no attention to Tommy and he responds as far as she is concerned. They respect the rights and privileges of each other as leaders in two classes of society. Tiger is a small, wiry cat of strange markings who also makes his home around the barn. He accepts the gran- ary as being his special preserve. Lady Puss is a venerable old matron at,the barn who keeps on producing litter after litter of kittens. She has a strong maternal instinct and 'never challenges Tommy except when she has a litter of small kittens. She will brook no interference and she takes advantage of her responsibility to hurl the occasional insult at him., At milking "time, Tommy, Tiger and Lady Puss line up for a feed 'of fresh milk. This a privilege which is not shared by either Tabby or Spot, As a matter of fact Spot is not tolerated at the barn at all. On the other hand none of the barn cats would think of going near the house when Mrs. Phil sets out a meal for Tabby and Spot. The barn cats have favorite haunts. At this time of year they usually -bed down on the pile of chop bags in the passageway after having had a meal. The house cats on the other hand wait their chance and when the kitchen door is opened they pop in and either sleep under the kitchen range, get in the woodbox or try for a comfortable spot in the front parlor. Tabby lies quite still but Spot is out. for fun. She is just waiting for a tussle with a piece of paper or a string or the yarn ball, She will play and tqss round and finally have to be- put out into the woodshed. She meows, around for a little while but finally goes off to bed. Tabby will remain. still .. , perfectly still, and occasionally- we forget to put her out and she gets. to spend the night in the comfort of the kitchen. I think cats are useful and comfort— able creatures to have around a farm but have always (been puzzled by the- instinct that makes them have two so- cieties . . . or classes of society . . house and barn cats, 011111111111111•11EigliniimisuniisiinumaiimmisitanInimantimusalminnamnihnonamitammuumuminamaimonownininuaanammaunnaluscounimounnsmannuimainnamusionnioninnialininitiminiiimmitlinisiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIVIIImunc Special Intrp4uctory 1-1 .wt nismuomii 1 s ii ,OFFER iiiii/1111Yl lllllllllllrii11111111111111111111Y11111Y11111Y 111 iiiii iiiiiiill iiiiiii To acquaint the Public with our completely Remodelled Studio, we are, until Saturday, December 6th, 1947 I allowing a DISCOUNT of 10% on Family Groups, Portraits, Children's Pictures We guarantee delivery of all Portraits in time for Christmas 'Gifts vErrnlyMmritattnairIntothroraMMMYMMOiritirmrMYMUMMOMMOMMUMTMMTIMMIMITMIMMYMIMimMorMtriVMMYMMIMIMMM thMigMMOMMOMTIMMOMMMOMiliViMiikifilitiiiirahMiith " - i . a Yr F...
