CAT TAKES HEALTH VOYAGE

English S6OO Prize Winner Will Take Small Family Back on Return Trip. New 'York.—Among the passengers arriving on the royal mall steam packet Oruba from the West Indies was a pedigree black and white Persian cat called Flossie, owned by Sir Archibald Baker of London. The cat was put on board the Oruba at Southampton to make the voyage for its health. This was by order of a cat specialist who had been consulted by Sir Archibald when his pet’s spirits seemed to be rather low. Flossie appeared to pine for three or four days after leaving port and on the filth day gave birth to three beautiful kittens, two black and one gray, which are being cared for by the ship’s stewardess. The mother won 100 guineas ($600) prize at the Vauxhan cat show last summer.
