CATS AND RATS
10 IHt EDITOR.
Sir,—l agree with S. F. Darragh, that, 'the above subject is "seriously interesting at the present time." That bein^ so, kindly allow me a little space to make a final reply. He says : "Your correspondents fail to moot a remedy for the evil, threatened by rats." I thought "Experience" and myself had made ourselves quite clear on that point .in \vord3 to the following effect. Feed the cats ■well and regularly, so that they may hare health and strength to fight and kill old man rat, who is trap-shy and a 'ferocious fighter, so much so, that no starved, weak cat would dare tackle him. 'A well-fed cat hunts for sport alone. I siavo had a lot of experience with cats, 'and have yet to see one attempt to eat the xinv/holesome prey, when caught,— •I sm, etc., IDA ROBINSON. 3rd March. ■
