Percy Dislikes Cat, Cat Dislikes His Dog, Police Dislike Furore

By JOE COLLIER

RS. Margaret Boehm told police that her. brother, Percy Wilson, didn’t like cats and hadn’t liked this particular one

for three years.

Last night, she said, he found an ideal companion and concentrated on disliking the. cat, which is Black and large and has

* NO name.

The companion was a large police dog which he borrowed from a friend and brought to her home at 535 N. Beville Ave, Then, she said, he turned him loose and the dog took after

the cat.

While Percy laughed, and the rest of the family begged him to call off the dog, the dog and the cat chased through the house, breaking chairs and vases and dishes, she told police. The-official report said “the house was a wreck.” Fortunately, - Mrs. Boehm said, the cat had sense enough to.stay downstairs and destruction did not spread to the second floor. “7 “Pinglly, Mrs. Boehm said, “even.

Police reported that “after several attempts and numerous soup bones were offered, enticed the dog into the police car. and

took him to a veterinary.”

Mrs. Boehm said today that the cat came back an hour and a half later, uninjured but very wary. She said Percy today was getting the dog from the veterinarian’s and returning him to

his ‘owrier..

Neither she nor police placed any estimate on the phoperty loss. She said Percy didn’t seem to like cats any: better today
