The next day the basket came again, but it held 

 a black cat this time, and later, a gray one, and then 

 a tortoise-shell. 



Mrs. Price came over one morning, and showed 

 them her beautiful Angora kitty; and after school, 

 one night, they all went down the alley to see Tim's 

 little kittens, five of them, out in the shed, with the 

 mother-cat, in a basket. Tim was watching them 

 most carefully, and he told, very accurately, of the 

 way in which the mother cared for them. He saw 

 her wash them, and give them food, and yes spat 

 them with her paw, if they were naughty. One day, 

 she seemed to think they had been receiving too much 

 company, for she made a new home for them in a 

 box at the other end of the shed, and Tim saw the 

 moving take place; she carried each one over in 

 her mouth. His joy was very great the morning he 

 reported that one had its eyes open.
