THE PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG ANIMALS 199 
draws, showing some dread of this quiet but watchful 
creature. 
The kitten still shows the mischievous tendency. It 
likes to knock down spools from the table, and especially 
to take pins out of the cushion. 
Will sometimes ery for my wife to sit down so that 
it may he in her lap. 
101s¢ day.—Was outside this morning when my dogs 
were being taken out for exercise. Is taken by surprise, 
and rapidly climbs a tree just at hand, to the height 
of 30 feet. Does not seem to know how to descend, or 
fears to do so. A long pole is hoisted up to it, and, 
after being pushed a little with the pole, it takes 
the hint and gets on the pole, and so is lowered 
down. 
105th day.—The most marked feature in the kitten’s 
conduct for a week past has been its sociability, or its 
pleasure in being near those human beings with which 
it has been most associated. Seems to look now to my 
wife as its best friend. 
When lying on the floor near a rocking-chair in 
motion, the kitten puts its paw near, but not under the 
rocker. 
The canary’s cage is again near the parrot’s, and the 
kitten seems to find it difficult to refrain from leaping 
at the canary. 
Is now very fond of getting out of doors and roaming 
about. 
Last night, as soon as the lights were put out, the 
kitten cries, as if wanting to get out of the study, 
wishing to go downstairs; does so, and at once goes to 
the front door. 
Was taken up again struggling vigorously. When 
placed in the pan it at once makes use of it. 
The kitten seems now to show a great increase in 
her liking for us all.
