NICE CATS. There’s one now, that’s great friends with a guinea-pig. And a big, white, fluffy guinea-pig he is, too. And do you know, those two will play hide-and-seek with each Other. In the summer-time their master Iets them out on the lawn to play. The guinea-pig will run and hide 'behind a bush, and then the cat will creep along, in the way cats do, and it doesn’t take him long to find the guinea-pig’s hiding- place., But while Mrs. Cat has been coming up, Mr. Guinea-pig has scampered across to another bush, so they go all over the garden, until the guinea-pig is caught, when pussy will hide. The Cat's Individuality. Most people who dislike cats or who are indifferent to them will tell you that all cats are alike,". but they vary just as much as human beings do. They have their likes and dislikes. and their dispositions and constitutions are totally different. Treat them as reasonable human beings, and they repay you by being healthy, intelligent, and loving animals. Cats are naturally timid, and very often they scratch or bite strangers from pure fright, and not, as is often supposed, from bad temper. Most of them, too, seem to have a natural antipathy to men, though they will grow as devoted to a master as to a mistress, but a strange man's steps will often. fill them with the greatest alarm.
Concerning Cats Even among cat-lovers, probably few are aware that there are still wild cats in Great Britain. The wild cat is an interesting animal. It is the most vicious of British carnivora, being extremely destructive of birds and small mammals, game being its particular prey; in fact, it has no saving grace of any kind to justify a recommendation to mercy. It is to be found to-day throughout all Northern Europe, save Norway, Sweden and Ireland. There has been considerable dispute as to it existence in Ireland, but in 1885 Dr. Hamilton set all doubts at rest by making exhaustive enquiries on the subject when a supposed specimen was presented to the Zoological Society. Although these wild cats inhabited time, the clearing of forests and improvement of firearms drove them gradually northwards. The last disappeared from Helvellyn and the wilds of Wales about 1760, we are told by Mr. George Jennison in an interesting article in the "Manchester Guardian," and only extreme wariness, nocturnal habits, and the rough-wooded, hilly country wherein they dwell have enabled a few pairs to survive, until now, the remorseless warfare of the gamekeeper in the rough parts of Northern Scotland.
