MAIN ««;«*wsa*.i 385-0294 HELPING I .PAWS Gf PI by Estelle Atwell v 658-5906 Some think it's a lot easier to understand dogs than it is to fathom the cat's nature. And Lewis Carroll's Alice was very puzzled when she first en­ countered the Cheshire Cat on her Adventures in Wonderland. The baby she held had just turned into a pig and run off in the woods when she was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire Cat sitting on a bough of a tree a few yards off., "The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good- natured, she thought; stiJKit had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt it ought to be treated with respect." " 'Cheshire Puss,' she began, rather timidly, as she did not at all know whether it would like the name; however, it only grinned a little wider." " 'Come, it's pleased so far,' thought Alice, and she went on, 'Would you tell me please, which way I ought to walk from here?' " " That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat." '• " I don't much care where said Alice." 4 " Then it doesn't matter which way you walk,' said the Cat." < The Cat politely explained to her that everyone thereabouts was mad, that he was mad, and that she, too, was mad. ' " How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.". " You must be' said the Cat, 'or you wouldn't have come here.' " This Cat had a strange way of appearing and vanishing. As he vanished he faded away little by little until only his grin was left. Finally the grin too disappeared. " 'Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; 0 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!' " Maybe that's . the charm of cats -- they are unfathomable.
