188 ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE 
PHYSICAL.—Its eyes are changing colour, being a sort 
of blue-grey. Paws no longer spl Its ‘fur ‘is 
darker in colour. It is rather a light tabby. °fove-legs 
not quite straight. TZazl carried vertically a great deal. 
To-day spends much time sleeping behind the barri- 
cade. When taken out, it goes back persistently. 
Still sucks the mother, using the fore-paws vigor- 
ously in pressing on the mammary glands. 
It may be said to jump out of the box now rather 
than scramble out, ze. lands on floor with a sort of 
leap, though it still scrambles in much as before. 
33rd day.—Found behind the barricade this morning 
before daylight. When trying to prevent its advance 
in a certain direction, the kitten evades me by running 
under a rocking-chair, where it is partly hidden. 
See it trying to catch a fly in the pan to-day. 
When put in the pan now it nearly always paws the 
sand whether there is anything further or not. 
Mother and kitten play together to-day for the first 
time. 
Though the book-shelves were closed by a curtain 
tacked on them, the kitten managed to get In, though I 
do not know how. 
Now goes towards persons sitting or ee in the 
room, and wanders about more or less. 
Is startled by water running from a sink with down 
suction to-day, though about 30 feet distant. 
34th day.—In a sort of perverse play bothers its mother 
so much that she puts her forelegs about the kitten to 
hold it quiet. Then the latter scratches so vigorously 
with hind-legs that the mother cries out. 
To-day the kitten is kept in the pan, notwithstanding 
restlessness and crying, till it passes feces for the first 
time here. This followed by much grooming of itself, 
as in an old cat. 
The kitten has now a look of much greater intelligence.
