Bright Wit of Animals and Gentle Cat Tales
A Scranton correspondent relays three animal anecdotes. A New York artisan mocks a parrot named Polly by calling him Matt, then shelters it during a sudden downpour, and the bird repays kindness by becoming fond of the craftsman. Capt George B. Thompson’s cat and a rooster form a lifelong pair, aiding each other in fights and caring for offspring. An elderly mother cat guides her kittens to safety before a thunderstorm, retreating to the garret, then returning to nurture them once the danger passes.
