A CAT’S PARADISE

NATIONAL MOUSE SHOW A cat’s paradise existed for a few hours in an upper room of the Old Crown Hotel, Birmingham, recently. Nearly 400 mice plump, well-fed, and in the pink of condition, brought from all parts of England, were assembled. The portals of this heaven were jealously guarded again predatory felines, for these were no ordinary mice. They might he described as the aristocracy of the kind. The occasion was the National Mouse Club’s summer cup show. There were 20 classes, and a number of special prizes including several cups, were competed for. A prize mouse must be, of course, of good size, shape, and condition, but there are other desirable features, one of these being described as “large tulip-shaped ears,” while a good muzzle, a long strong tail and regular well-formed feet are also looked for by experts.
