Cats for company at Alderman Duffy's coal yard
In New York's East Twenty sixth street coal yard a Wat hman named Charles Melville keeps twenty three cats as his companions. The cats gather around him in his shed sharing meat he cuts, with Minnie the oldest at eight and Cinders the lookalike, while Ginger the lively kitten crew waits for food. Melville notes cats are delicate, not nine lives, and says he feeds them meat daily and avoids milk. The story portrays the cats as comforting, silent helpers on long winter nights.
