RABBITS, CATS, AND CAVIES 



at the time, and which I greatly value, of what I call 

 " Turning the Tables." 



I had an unpleasant experience of something of the 

 same kind with almost the first dog I ever bought with 

 my own money ; this was a Mustard Dandie whom I had 

 proved to be a good rat killer, but was not aware she had 

 an aversion to cats, until one day when she was out with 

 me, and saw one bolt down the area steps of a house in a 

 fashionable crescent, the bitch darted after her, and before I 

 could stop her, as the gate was locked, she had settled the 

 cat on its own threshold.
