THE GUIDE TO NATURE. 



The Persian type is much more to be 

 desired. When one calls their long- 

 haired cat an Angora they are calling it 

 something that is much inferior to a 

 Persian. 



Caesar, as shown in the illustration, is 

 what is known as a Silver Persian. If 

 we were to describe the color to one who 

 has never seen a silver we would sav it is 



loving in disposition. He is owned by 

 M. Johnson, Xew York City. 



The three kittens are from noted Per- 

 sian parentage and have their lives 

 yet before them. Whether they will 

 make a name as noted winners or find 

 a home with some cat lover as a pet is 

 yet to be seen. They were bred and are 

 owned by Mrs. Love joy, of Elgin, 111. 



THE BUZZING SILVER. 



Silver tabby shorthaired female lately imported Bred by Mrs. Collinwood, England. Owned by Mrs 

 J. C. Mitchelson, Tariffville, Conn. Sire, Champion James II, dam, Sally Ugly Mug. 



much the color of a very light gray horse. The Buzzing Silver is a very Deauti- 



The very lightest ones are called chin- 

 chillas and are shaded but a little from 

 white. To reach the standard they must 

 be without stripes or tabby markings. 

 Caesar is a noted show cat, and has sev- 

 eral times won the special prize for Best 

 Cat in the show of any color. He is 

 the propertv of Mrs. William Frye, of 

 Buffalo, N.' Y. 



Famo is another noted prize winning 

 Persian, white, very affectionate and 



fully marked shorthaired cat imported 

 from England by Mrs. Mitchelson of 

 Tariffville, Conn. While Buzzing Silver 

 has been in this country but a short time, 

 she has already won many prizes. Three 

 times she has won as the best short- 

 haired cat in the show. She would be 

 called a silver tabby. Tabby because 

 she has the stripes and silver because 

 the ground color or light colors are 

 silver.
