196 ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE 
kitten out of the dining-room, and to-day it tries hard 
to get in by the wire-gauze door. 
59th day.—The kitten seems to be wneasy when quite 
alone. 
Came upstairs to-day to use the pan. 
There is a fire in the grate in the study for the first 
time thisautumn. The kitten touches the poker, which 
is hot. It hisses, etc., but soon after it touches it again 
and again, in its usual persistent way. 
60¢h day.—After tea I le down on a sofa in a room 
adjoining the dining-room, whereupon the kitten climbs 
upon the sofa, and walks from my legs up to my chest, 
where it remains purring. 
Now generally comes when called “ Puss! puss!” 
Present physical condition : 
Colour not very greatly changed. Is still a light 
tabby. 
The shape of the head is now much more like its 
mother’s. 
The eyes seem to be getting lighter. 
Weight, 24 lbs. 
Height, 7 inches. 
During the past two weeks it shows much wayward- 
ness. When an attempt is made to thwart the kitten 
in any way it bites, scratches, etc, in a half-earnest, 
half-playful way. 
63rd day.—Slips, by some mishap, in part into a 
water pitcher, which is followed by hissing and a great 
fuss generally. 
65th day.—For the first time is allowed outside on 
the front steps. No longer remains as much in the study. 
67th day.—Kitten to-day micturates in the corner of 
the study, notwithstanding that it had been solicited to 
use the pan. Is punished with a small strap. 
70th day.—For the past two days the kitten is much 
inclined to repeat the offence of the 67th day.
