Fig. 1. — A Cat which has never caught a Bird. 

 This cat, belonging to Dr. Burt G. Wilder, is kept in or caged during the night, 

 fed regularly, and given a good breakfast before his morning liberty. Birds 

 do not interest him. See page 91. fPhotograph by courtesy of Dr. Wilder.) 



Fig. 2. — Buster, proud of his Tether. 

 This great cat, owned by Mr. Bardwell Gladwin of Plainville, Conn., is kept tethered to an 

 overhead wire. He has been tied every summer, and seems to consider the collar and 

 leash as a high honor. See page 91. (Photograph by courtesy of Mrs. Louise G. Lusk.)
