Puss Put on Spot by Butcher Birds

Palo Alto, Calif.--The owl and the pussy cat dwell in harmony, as the children’s rhyme says, but a butcher bird and a cat are two other fellas. Otto Schroeder has a cat which chewed up a young butcher bird. That was a long time ago and the cat has since had the toughest period of his ornithological career. The old butcher birds have been camping in a nearby tree, and every time Schroeder’s cat starts into the back yard they zoom at him like a scene from “Hell’s Angels.” Schroeder says that his cat is a house cat in more than name, and that in a couple more weeks a canary could chase him into the hills and make a wildcat of him.
