Even instances like these, however, are hardly proof of vegetarianism. There is no evidence that the cucum- ber-eating eats refused meat or fish when offered them.

They could not resist this vegetable. But while many people cut off the riod before eating cucumber, it was this part of the vegetable that inter. ested the cats. They would nibble all the rind off, leaving the rest. But there are cases of cats who have developed a taste for vegetables. Two of them, who never bothered to interfere with such titbits as eanaries and goldfish, were perfectly unscrup- ulous when it came to cucumbers. In the case of criminals this plan has sometimes worked-at least, for a time. Where rabbit and fox are con- terned, it almost always works, be- cause foxes have a ourious habit of leaving their neighbors alone, even when they are a kind that would make a tasty meal. Thus, if there is a rabbit warren near a fox's quarters, the fox will' ignore it when he is hunting. anl travel some distance to find another warren. But this ooesn’t necessarily mean that the fox in qaetion had tarot-d vegetarian.
