I saw in YOUNG PEOPLE lately some anecdotes of cats, and I thought
that I would like to describe a very strange cat owned by a friend
of mine. This gentleman calls her a rabbit-cat, and she is very
much like a rabbit. She has a "bob" tail, and her hind-legs are
much longer than her fore-legs, so that she seems to tip forward as
she runs.
She runs like a rabbit, and is very wild. It was very hard to get
near enough to examine her. But the queerest parts are her feet;
she has five toes on each hind-foot, and seven on each fore-foot.
The fore-foot looks as if she had originally had four toes on it,
and the three extra ones had been hitched on afterward.
