£5,000 Bequest for Cats Disputed
An attempt is being made by her brother to upset the will of a woman who died last month, leaving upwards of 300,000 lire (about £5,000 at Italian internal rates) for the benefit of cats (writes the Rome correspondent of The Times). She bequeathed 15,000 lire to a Roman veterinary surgeon on condition he -fed and looked after her 13 cats until their death. Another 10,000 lire were bequeathed to a second veterinary surgeon to look after and feed stray cats. The residuo of the estate, apart from 20,000 lire left to a charitable institution, was left in the interests of cats to the Roman Society for the Protection of Animals.
