THE HOMING FACULTY. 



number of the Scientific American, Mr. H, 0. 



gn 



it of the dduigs of a Blind cat, 

 ig in its beating ou the problem of the houi- 

 ■tain animals. He writea of Dido, the cat. 



which 



ins instinct of 

 as follows: 



"In some one of his many encounters, Dido met with an 

 injury to one of his feet that made a surgical operation 

 necessary, from which lie recovered, but shortly afterward 

 wont totally blind. A cataract was formed over each eve, 

 by which, as repeated experiments proved, vision was thor- 

 oughly ohscui ed. 



"This calamity came on suddenly, and placed the cat in 

 circumstances not provided for by the ordinary eifts of in- 

 stinct, TVtiat to do with himself was ids ml y a problem hard 

 to be solved. He would sit and mew most piteously, as if 

 bemoaning his condition; and when ho attempted to move 

 about, he met, with all the mishaps that the reader will be 

 likely to imagine. He ran against walls, fell down stairs, 

 stumbled over sticks, and when once on the top rail of the 

 fence, he would traverse its entire length seeking in vain for 

 a safe jumping-ofT place. On being called he would run about 

 bewildered, as if not knowintt whence the voice came nor 

 whither he should go to find the one calling. In short. Dido's 

 life seemed hardly worth living, and we were seriously plot- 

 ting his death, when the cat himself clearly concluded thai he 

 must make his other senses atone for the loss of sight. 



"It was very curious to watch his experiments. One of the 

 fli'st of these was concerning the art of going down stairs. 

 Instead of pawing the air, as he had been doing on reaching 

 the top step, he went to one side till he felt the banisters 

 touch nis whiskers, and then, guided thus, he wotdd descend 

 safely and at full speed, turning into the hall on gaining the 

 last step. One by one he made each familiar path a studv. 

 determined the exact location of each door, explored anew 

 all his old haunts, and seemed bravely re=olved to begin life. 

 over again. The result was so unexpectedly successful that 

 we were deceived into the notion that sight had lieen restored. 

 But, by placing any obstacle, in the path, and then calling him 

 eagerly to his customary feeding place, it was evident that 

 he was entirety Wind, for he would run with full force against 

 the box or other obstruction, and then, for some time after- 

 ward, he would proceed with renewed caution. 



"Dido's 'voice is still for war.' and his blindness does not, 

 make him any less successful in his duels with inl rudcrs. He 

 even goes abroad in guest at adventures, and conies safely 

 home again, His value as a inouser does not seem to be in tile 

 least diminished. 



It is well known that the house eat will find its way back 

 from distant places to which it has been carried blindfolded; 

 aud how it performs such feats naturalists have never satis- 

 factoiily explained. The theory accepted by some of them 

 is that the animal takes note of the successive odors encoun- 

 tered on the way. that these 1,-av- as distinct a scries of im- 

 ages as those we should receive by the sense of sight, and 

 that by taking them in the inverse order from which they

described the seuse. of sraelljs by no 

 means acute, as has been proved by a variety of methods; 

 and moreover, although, aw one might, say, perpetually blind- 

 folded, he quite uniformly chooses the shortest road home, 

 without reference, to the. path he may have taken on leaving 

 the house. Curious to see how far tins homing instinct would 

 extend, 1 took advantage of a fall of snow that wrapped 

 under its mantle every familiar object, concealed all the 

 paths, and deadened every odor and sound. Taking Dido to 

 a considerable distance from the House, and making a num- 

 ber of turns to bewilder him, I tossed him upon a drift and 

 quietly awaited results. The poor creature turned his sight- 

 less orbs this way and that and mewed piteously for help. 

 Finding ai length that he was throwm entirely on his own 

 resources, he stood motionless for about one "minute, and 

 then, to my amazement, made his way directly through the 

 untrodden snow t<i the house door, which, it is needless to 

 add, was promptly opened to the shivering martyr to soien- 

 tilie investigation, to whom consolation was forthwith offered 

 m a brimming bowl of now milk. 



"My conclusion, therefore, is that AYallai 

 theory of account. iuv for 01 111 - "a by w 

 re;-istrat.ion,' will not explain What has 1 

 that the mysterious homing faculty is prt 

 of such methods of gaining knowledge as have been' 

 rily observed, and is analogous to the migratory instinct Con- 

 trolling the long- flights of some species of birds.
