THE CAT

THE CAT 

 thicker whiskers windows stretch 



Many other animals stay with us all the year. 



First there is the cat. 



Who ever heard of a cat hiding in the ground 

 just because it was cold ? ^ 



Who ever heard of a 

 cat going south ? 



But it does get a little 

 thicker fur. 



Rub the cat's back. 



Do you feel some- 

 thing hard ? 



That is the cat's 

 backbone. 



She has two eyes, 

 a nose, two ears, and a mouth. 



Then there are the whiskers. 



You have not got whiskers yet ! 



What fine eyes she has ! 



She can see with them at night even. 



The black windows in her eyes can stretch. 



So her eyes get a great deal of light.
