WHY SHOULD CATS LIKE FISH? 179 



This has been quoted as a curious case of animal 

 instinct approaching to reason, and overcoming the 

 usual habits of the animal. But we may think of it 

 as an old instinct brought to new life if we suppose 

 that wild cats, in past days, braved water to catch 

 fish for a living. Perhaps if they were given the chance 

 most cats would show that they are still good fishermen 

 at heart ! 



Fish for breakfast!
