Although in olden times the cat was protected as a guardian of graneries, in some parts even worâ€" shipped, in later years it was beâ€" lieved to be in league with ghosts, and the constant companion of witches. In fact, it was often taken Notables To Address Girl Scout Convention November 15â€"18 At dinner time green peas were served on the plate, Robbie loved green peas, and was able to capâ€" ture all but two, which successâ€" fully eluded his pursuing fork.

Cute Kids Department Small Robbie was invited out to dinner, alone, and his mother spent considerable time coaching him on table manners. One of the "must nots" was putting his hands on his plate.

Thursday, Nov. 38, 1949 â€"Auntie for a witch in disguise, allied with devils and monsters of darkness. In that era it was, in some parts, considered proper to kill it wherâ€" considered properâ€" to kill a cat wherever foundâ€"in the most cruel manner, On the other hand, the Cat Cult of Egypt lasted over a long period of time. In that age it was unlawful to kill a cat, and dangâ€" erous even to find a dead one, for the finder must immediately prove his innocence. Members of the family mourned the death of a cat, and cat funerals often cost more than those of humans. Whole cemeteries were devoted to cat burials. The sacred cat of Egypt led a life of guarded ease. Is your pet a descendent of those revered animals? The Phoeâ€" nicians obtained them and carried them to many foreign shores where they bred and multiplied. If your cat‘s hind feet have black soles he is probably a descendent of the ancient kaffirs. Cats with pink mottled toes probably spring from the European wild breed. Like Kipling‘s famous feline "who walked by his wild lone", the cat has a mind of his own. He is the supreme egotist, lackâ€" ing the selfiess loyalty of the dog. No man‘s slave, his attachment to man is merely a matter of conâ€" venience and greater comfort. He can take man or leave him. Howâ€" ever, being, in evolution, millions of years older than man, is it any wonder that the natural mien of the animal is that of loftiness and independenceâ€"even superiority? The cat is a marvelous meâ€" chanism. His brain so resembles that of the human that it has been studied by anatomists for research purposes. More than 500 selfâ€"controlled muscles give him great agility and a marvelous sense of balance. Though unable to see in total darkness, his vision in scant light is extraordinary, and his sensitive whiskers give him a radarâ€"like sense of direction in a complete blackout. Probably this ability to get around in the dark, the fine sense of balance, and his frank and haughty stare have contributed to the sense of mystery surroundâ€" ing the cat.
