I have heard their strange unearthly wailing cry myself, when travelling in Scotland ; and, indeed, I once saw one, but instead of attacking me, it ran away very much frightened. " " Yet they are savage, fierce creatures, " said papa. " I suppose, " said cousin Sophy, " that tame cats are the same things as the wild, only domesticated. I have heard of tame cats in country houses taking to the neighbouring woods, and living there in preference to the warm comfort- able kitchen, and bringing up t...heir kittens there. " "Yes, " said papa; "and wild cats have been tamed, and kept for several generations in a civilised way, and yet I believe it has been decided that they are not the same as their brethren, but that each must be put in a distinct class by natural historians ; and this decision has been arrived at by means of their tails. " "Of their tails!" cried cousin Sophy. "How very queer ! " " Yes, " said papa. " The tail of the wild cat is always short and bushy, and that of the tame cat is always long and taper ; and no change is found in this respect in the children or grandchildren of the cats who have changed their modes of life from wild to tame or from tame to wild.
