GENERAL MANAGEMENT 9 



neglected a certain amount of the felted under coat 

 must be clipped away. The frill round the neck 

 must be brushed, so as to stand well off, whilst 

 that on the tail must receive similar attention. 



To attain the maximum pristine condition of 

 the coat, it must be groomed three times daily ; 

 feed on the best raw meat night and morning, 

 and add two drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic 

 to the milk, night and morning, say, for six weeks 

 previous to exhibition. 



Transit by Kail. 



No matter whether sending your cat for exhi- 

 bition, service, or sale, it is your duty to see that it 

 occupies a suitable hamper, or travelling-box, with 

 secure fastenings, as cats occasionally make their 

 escape during transit, and there is difficulty in 

 obtaining anything more than 2 in compensation 

 unless its value has been declared by the sender at 

 the time of dispatch, and a trifling additional fee 

 paid for such. Lined hampers, with a good bed- 

 ding of straw, do very well. Special boxes and 

 hampers are sold for this purpose by those dealing 

 in dog and cat requisites. 



Always label plainly, and give a feed 'of raw meat 

 before dispatch. 



Avoid sending by any but main lines whenever 

 possible. 



All show hampers should be plainly labelled
