Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 123, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1903 — Toilet of the Cat. [ARTICLE]

Toilet of the Cat.

Cats, large and small, make the most careful toilet of any class of animals excepting some of the opossums. The lions Jmd tigers wash themselves In exactly the same manner as the cat, wetting the dtfrk, rubberlike ball of the fore foot and inner foe and passing .It over the face and behind the ears. The foot is thus at the same time a sponge and brush, and the rough tongue combs the rest of the body.
