THE SHORT-HAIRED WHITE AND BLACK CAT 



I consider this variety in marked contrast, in point of 

 character and disposition, to the last named, as those I 

 have known have been of the light-hearted, happy-go- 

 lucky temperament, the first in a scrimmage or scuffle and 

 the last to leave off ; demons for vermin and very 

 sporting in their tastes. This accounts for their being 

 often found amongst the victims of the gamekeepers' 

 attention to trespassers, either really, or supposed to be, 

 in pursuit of fur and feather in the woods and plantations.
