Cat and Mouse Story

Event date: Mar 1, 1878

Here is a cat and mouse story which we have every reason to believe is true. On Tuesday afternoon a maltese cat belonging to Francis W. Taylor, who lives on W.F. Richardson’s farm, caught seven full-grown mice in succession without dropping any of them from her mouth till the whole seven were dispatched. The mice were in a box of oat chaff, and after taking care of the seven, pussy returned to the fray and disposed of five more in the same way.
