.IN DEFENCE OF PUSSY,
Editor The Signal -Star.
Sir, -Last .week I read an article
concerning "cats" In The Signal -Star,
under the • nante of Phil Osifer Of
Lazy Meadows. •I'm writing this be
it hardly did the pretty creatures
justice ;• also the writer has the wrong
idea, oft them.
Saying that cats are the least human
of all animals, I don't believe .a word
of it. - There isn't a great deal that is
human about any animals, but I would
say, 'definitely, ,that cats are more Se.
than. pigs, COM. The cat is more
_temperamental than alot of dther
-
anfmals. • • '•
"'The cat remains a crafty beast of
the junkie." .01* all .the nerve! That's
going a bit too. far. They're not watch-
ing out in case of danger if they have
decent master. " Natiirallyi if the
unfortunate "kitty", is shoved out the
door, in • an unspeakable • Manner or
slapped -down every time she Makes -for
a cushion, she *child need to .be on
guard.
• When a cat jumps on your lap and
rub's' its head on y,pur chin, it,has 'no
notion 'of being Prepared to 'spring at
you. Oh, yes their tail fluffs out and
-they- spit-vcrhen-••rnade angry. What
about thedogr They will snarl and
--look--ready-tot•pounce-on-yourtancl-soine

What 'animal is sweeter :titan kitty
daintily licking her Paws and washing
her face, giving that little 'pug nose
an extra rub? Or when the• babies
misbehave they :receive a sinart boy
on the ear.. Nothing beastly about
the cats. ' •
'People say that they wouldift have a
