SINGULAR ATTACHMENT OF A CAT TO A RAT

 

SINGULAR ATTACHMENT OF A CAT TO A RAT - TRUE STORY

THE landlord of the only public house in the village of Oxton has a cat, which has been noted as a first- rate mouser and rat-catcher. One Sunday morning the cat caught a young rat. which instead of killing. she took into one of the rooms of the hostelry and put it along with a kitten she was nursing. She then lay down, and suckled both the cat and the rats be more fond of the little rat, than of her own offspring. The interesting family were visited by a number of people, living in the district. The cat continued to nurse the rat, until another cat found its way into the room, and seeing the young rat along with the kitten pounced upon it, and quickly killed it.

A CAT HATCHING CHICKENS

I WISH to tell you a little anecdote about the doings of a bantam hen and cat that I had in the summer of 1876. I put seven eggs under the hen, for her to sit upon, and this she did with the help of the cat. When the hen came off to eat and drink in the day time, the cat would go on the eggs, and keep them warm until the hen came in; then the cat would leave for the hen to go on the nest, while she would sit upon the nest box, and watch for the rats and mice, that came to disturb the hen. When the chicks were hatched, puss would sit and watch them so, that no harm came to them when they strayed from the hen; and I think if it had not been for the cat, they would have been taken by the rats. I am happy to say, all the chicks which were brought up by the watchfulness of the cat and the hen are now living, and the cat visits the hen-cote up to the present time.
