WILD CATS HUNTED
A bu slim an. describing the depredations of wild cats upon birds in Forest and Bird, states:' “In about a week I shot eleven cats, most of them mangy 'anil covered with sores: Apart from saving birds it was a relief to the mill-hands as it meant we could leave our hut door open for more than a few' minutes and know that food was safe from pilfering cats. And, strange as it may seem, a horde of mice haunting 'the huts completely disappeared! I can offer no explanation for this unless it be that the eats had the mice ‘penned up’ and consequently unable to escape while their foes were about.”
