Concerning Cats 



Mrs. Josiah Cratty, of Oak Park, has a cattery 

 called the "Jungfrau Katterie," and her cats are re- 

 markably beautiful. Her Bartimaeus and True Blue 

 are magnificent white cats, sired by Mrs. Locke's 

 Lord Gwynne. 



Miss L. C. Johnstone, of Chicago, has some of 

 the handsomest cats in the country. Cherie is a 

 wonderful blue shaded cat; Lord Humm is a splen- 

 did brown tabby; while Beauty Belle is an exceed- 

 ingly handsome white cat. Miss Johnstone takes 

 great pains with her cats, and is rewarded by having 

 them rated among the best in America. 



Some of the beautiful cats which have been sent 

 from Chicago to homes elsewhere are Teddy Roose- 

 velt, a magnificent white, sired by Mrs. W. E. Col- 

 bum's Paris, and belonging to Mrs. L. Kemp, of 

 Huron, S. Dak. ; Silver Dick, a gorgeous buff 

 and white, whose grandmother was Mrs. Colburn's 

 Caprice, and who is owned by Mrs. Porter L. Evans, 

 of East St. Louis; Toby, a pure white with green 

 eyes, owned by Mrs. Elbert W. Shirk, of Indianapo- 

 lis ; and Amytis, a chinchilla belonging to Mrs. S. S. 

 Leach, of New London, sired by Mrs. Locke's 

 Smerdis, and the daughter of Rosalys II. 



Miss Cora Wallace, of East Brady, Pa., has Lord 

 Ruffles, son of the first Rosalys and The Beadle, 

 formerly Bumble Bee. Mrs. Fisk Greene, of Chi- 

 cago, now owns a beautiful cat in Bumble Bee, and 

 another in Miss Merrylegs, a blue with golden eyes,
