Lexington, Ky —Even at the risk of being classed among the | study fakers” by the strenuous one at | the White House, Mrs. D. H. Keller, of | this city, gives the following story of | | the actions of two cats with a blind i | rat. Mrs. Keller owns two cats that are | noted in the neighborhood as excel- lent ratters. Woodland Park neighborhood, in which she lives, has become infested || | with rats of all sizes. Recently the two cats attacked a large rat in the | | chicken yard. A setting hen attacked the cats, drove them away and then pecked the rat’s eyes out. The rat, | handicapped by blindness, has since taken more than ordinary chances in | | search of food. Upon numerous occasions he has en tered the kitchen while the cook was preparing a meal. The cats have fol lowed the rat inte the kitchen and have sat on their haunches watching it, without attempting to interfere with | it in any way. A day or two ago one of the cais walked up to the rat, smelled of it and putting its paw on the rat’s back indifferently away An instant later the cat espied another rat in the chick en yard, and like a fash jumped over wire fence and pounced upen it killed and ate it The blind now has the run of | the back ya porch, and, when the door is open, the kitchen. Both cats ignore him altogether. As yet it has permitted no human being touch it. Mrs. Ke watches the rat close ly and sees th injures it.
