SPRATT'S PATENT 



Cat Food 



A LL breeders of high-class or exhibition cats have 

 come to the conclusion from practical experience 

 that an excessive meat diet, raw or cooked, is in" 

 jurious to cats that are kept in confinement. It is also 

 bad for the coat and it is difficult with unsystematic feed- 

 ing to keep the animal in exhibition form. 



C«—»4«><. lY.ff.t has revolutionized the old method 



aprati s Patent ,«-..-,,-, A A 



r of Feeding Cats and prepared an 



easily digestible cooked food, composed of the different 

 meals, flour, vegetables, etc., and containing only the 

 necessary quantity of meat, together with other ingre- 

 dients calculated to keep the cat in good health and ex- 

 hibition form. 



ft has been used for many years at the National Cat 

 Shows held in the English Crystal Palace; also at the 

 American National Cat Show in Madison Square Garden 

 and at most large exhibitions, besides which it is in 

 constant use at the leading catteries. The increasing 

 demand for it is the best proof of its virtues and value.
