This letter was evidently written hy one of those “who see, but do not observe Passing over his fne sinuation that cats only squall about the time the rooster crows, the lee man yells at the house, the “discordant robin”* twit ters and the festive newsboy cries his morning papers and that, so far as his fifty years of “observation” goes, cats do not eat birds, 1 want to pay atten- tlon to the suggestion he makes that to destroy cats would be to rob “poor chil- dren’” of thelr amusement and to say that this is, to my mind, the greatest reason for regulating cats, Any physician wii tell you that cats are one of the most prolific carriers of germs of all kind Their fur Is soft and clinging; they, by cholce, keep off the open streets so far as powsible; they frequent narrow alleys and by-ways; they crawl under sheds and shacks; they visit garbage cans and other repositories of filth; are readily admitted to many homes, and are potted and fon- died by children regardless of any dis- ense the children may have; then go into other homes and are taken up by the children and fondled and kissed with “all their imperfections’” on their coats, I have no doubt that if the truth were known the late scarlet fever epidem's here was greatly spread by ths means, In a similar epidemic in my old town I was positively instructed by my family physician to keep my children away from all cats, even our own, and all cats away from the children. His advice was simply common sense and was appre- oiated and followed. I am by no means a cat hater, but considér children, even If only ‘‘whis- tling newsboys,”” of much greater impor- tance than cats and am for “safety first’ in this respeet . I am in sympathy with the Audubon soclety on the point of bird protection, for with nearly s long an experience as Heathen" I can confidently answer his ‘do they" by transposing it to “they do.” and 1 iture that If he glves his honest observation he seen cats kill more birds than mice, unless his observation was confined to the time of night when birds the was not when robins, newsboys were their rosy morn stood tip-toe on L.
