Cats Eat Only Scraps.

“There is absolutely no justification for anyone’s proposing to destroy the cats to save the food they eat,” said Dr. F. J. Flanagan of the Boston Cat club. ’’Not from any angle. They eat the scraps from the table which would only accumulate "and be dumped into the garbage pail. The refuse cnn’t be used to feed pigs, because no one in Boston can get a permit to raise them. It is taken down the bay by the Boston Developing company and turned into fertilizer; bnt the amount which the cats use is so small that Lt isn’t worth counting.”
