'Saga of Cats' topic of tale
The following is a story written
by Fran Ritchie.
Mrs. Ritchie is taking a course
in creative writing at Fanshawe
College and "The Saga of Cats" is
one of her first stories.
Hopefully she will entertain our
readers with more of her efforts
in the future.
The Saga of Cats
Cats was supposedly a tropical
cat fish. When I bought him, he
was about an inch and a half long
and light brown with a lighter
under -belly. In my aquarium
with a variety of other tropical
fish, he made himself quite at
home, and definitely added
something, with his long
"whiskers"and big eyes, as he
poked around the bottom looking
for food.

after I bought Cats, I was
cleaning the aquarium. This is
done with a little device called a
vacuum. It runs off the air pump
and sucks the water into the
bottom of a tube. The water then
spills into a cup on top which has
a filter in it, and then runs back
into the tank through small holes
in the bottom of the cup, leaving
the debris in the filter.
While I was vacuuming the
phone rang. I left the vacuum
running, propped against the
tank, and went to answer the
phone. When I came back I
thought, "My goodness, a lot of
dirt has gathered in the filter."
Then I took a closer look; there
was poor Cats, flip-flopping
around in the cup. T quickly
picked him up and put him back
in the tank; he made a bee -line
for a big rock in the corner.
During the next week I never
saw him unless 1 prodded him out
from under the rocks to see if he
was still alive. I suppose it was a
frightening experience for him
and he changed from a friendly
little guy, swimming around the
tank, into a pair of eyeballs
peering from under a rock. He
also became nocturnal, and so I
didn't see him very often. I guess
that all pet -lovers have their
favorites, and Cats, with his
mysterious ways, had become
one of mine.
In a community tank such as
mine, a small fish can die and
never be missed, but one day I
realized that there were several
small fish missing. I didn't see
any little bodies floating
anywhere, so I took inventory.
The next day I checked again and
sure, enough, another fish was
gone. It took me a few days but
finally I realized that Cats must
be the culprit. I fixed up a pail
with water and rocks and in-
troduced Cats to his new home.
When, after a while no more fish
were missing from the tank, I
knew that I had solved the
problem.
But now what to do with Cats?
Ile couldn't live forever in a pail
in the livingroom, and he was
becoming quite a size. I was
beginning to suspect that this cat
fish had never seen tropical
waters, but had probably come
from some muddy little creek in
Ontario.
Cats then moved into an old
wash -tub in the back yard, and
there he lived like royalty, dining
on big gobs of frog's eggs, which
my son brought home from the
creek. By this time Cats must
have been four inches long and
was a very handsome fellow.
That summer we had seven
ducks, and, as everyone knows,
ducks love water. How do you
keep ducks out of a wash -tub full
of water? Impossible. They
fouled the water so badly that I
didn't think that Cats would be
able to survive in it; so back he
went to the pail.
At least the ducks couldn't get
into the pail; they could only
drink from it. And drink they did.
As they got older they would put
their heads under the water and
search around the bottom of the
pail. I was watching one of the
ducks do this one day when I
suddenly realized that he was
looking for food. "Good grief, do
ducks eat fish?" Just as this
thought crossed my mind, up
popped the duck's head, and I
caught a glimpse of Cats going
down the duck's throat.

Beauty h In The Eye of the Beholder
And Is Evident Where Intended
Sometimes it's hard for us to
understand the ways of nature,
but, left alone, nature balances
things out in her own way. After
all, what was I going to do with
Cats in the fall? I couldn't buy
him fish all winter, and frog's
eggs are pretty hard to come by
come December. In the long run
it was "tit for tat". The ducks ate
Cats and we ate the ducks.
Book on women's rights
Whose name does an
illegitimate child take? Can I be
held responsible for my
husband's debts? Can a wife lose
her dower rights? Where can a
complaint about sex
discrimination be made?
These are just a few of the
questions answered in Law and
the Woman in Ontario, a
layperson's guide to legal rights,
now available from the Women's
Bureau.
Law and the Woman in Ontario
first appeared in 1967 and has
been revised several times since
then. It is one of the Bureau's
most popular publications. In the
past year, close to 10,000 copies of
the 1974 edition were sent out to
schools, women's groups and
individuals, on request.
"Since the Murdoch case in
Alberta," Mamie Clarke, the
Bureau's director points out,
"women are increasingly
inquiring into their legal rights,
yet information written for the
non -specialist is still in short
supply."
The new version of Law and the
Woman has been greatly ex-
panded anddealsthoroughly with
such issues of concern as keeping
one's name after marriage, rape,
obtaining credit, common-law
relationships, and support. A
question -and -answer format is
used for the first time and four of
the chapters have been printed as
individual pamphlets.
The bulk of the research for the
45 -page book was done by Jen-
nifer Bankier, the top graduate of
Osgoode Halt Law School.
Single copies of Law and the
Woman in Ontario are available
free of charge. Copies after the
first one are priced at 50 cents
each. from Ontario Women's
Bureau, 400 University Ave.,
Toronto, Ontario.
