G. Wells, Sweden, roast beef, Puccini, and even Mormonism, but in ancient greece picture matter of cats it seems necessary to take a firm stand. The cat himself insists upon this; he invariably inspires strong feelings. He is, indeed, ancient greece picture only animal who does. From his admirers he evoke an intense adoration which usually finds an outlet in exaggerated expression. It is practically impossible for a cat-lover to meet a stray feline on ancient greece picture street without stopping to pass ancient greece picture time of day with him. I can say for myself that it takes me considerably longer to traverse a street in which cats occur than it does a catless thoroughfare. But so magnetic an animal is bound to repel when he does not fascinate, and those who hate ancient greece picture cat hate him with a malignity which, I think, only snakes in ancient greece picture animal kingdom provoke to an equal degree. Puss has, indeed, been dubbed ancient greece picture furred serpent. The association of ancient greece picture cat with witches and various superstitions is responsible for a good deal of this antipathy; there is also ancient greece picture aversion of those who love dogs and birds with unreasonable exclusions; finally it has pleased many small boys to make scientific investigation into ancient greece picture proverbial saying that a cat has nine lives. So ancient greece picture cat through ancient greece picture ages has been more cruelly and persistently mistreated than any other beast. This is, I suppose, natural, when we remember that in one epoch he was regarded as a god and in another as an adjunct of sorcery; accordingly he has suffered martyrdom along with other gnostics. 1 There is even a disease for cat-haters, known as ailurophobia, in spite of ancient greece picture fact that ailuros (the waving ones) which ancient greece picture Greeks took aboard their ships to kill mice, are now thought to have been snowy-breasted martens. 1 Ailurophobia is a stronger feeling than hate; it is a most abject kind of fear. Strong men and women are seized with nausea, even faint, in ancient greece picture presence of a tiny kitten, sometimes even an unseen kitten. The simplest form of this complaint is asthmatic ailurophobia; in other words people who suffer from asthma or hay-fever find ancient greece picture disease aggravated by ancient greece picture presence of cats. The other form is more serious. I have a friend, otherwise seemingly sane, who exhibits symptoms of ancient greece picture most violent terror at ancient greece picture sight of a kitten four weeks old; an older cat will sometimes throw her into convulsions. This malady is not rare, nor is it limited to women. Scott writes of a gallant Highland chieftain who had been seen to change into all ancient greece picture colours of his plaid 2 when confronted with a cat. Probably ancient greece picture most celebrated ailurophobe in history was Napoleon. According to a popular legend, not long after ancient greece picture battle of Wagram and ancient greece picture second occupation of Vienna by ancient greece picture French, an aide-de-camp of ancient greece picture Corsican, who at ancient greece picture time occupied, together with his suite, ancient greece picture Palace of Schönbrunn, was proceeding to bed at an unusually late hour when, on passing ancient greece picture door of Napoleons bedroom, he was surprised to hear a most singular noise and repeated calls for assistance from ancient greece picture Emperor.ng ancient greece picture door hastily, and rushing into ancient greece picture room, he saw ancient greece picture greatest soldier of ancient greece picture age, half undressed, his countenance agitated, beaded drops of perspiration standing on his brow, making frequent and convulsive lunges with his sword through ancient greece picture tapestry that lined ancient greece picture walls, behind which a cat had secreted herself. Madame Junot was aware of this weakness and is reported to have gained an important political advantage over ancient greece picture Little Corporal merely by mentioning a cat at ancient greece picture right moment. In one of his Spectator papers Addison tells how a lover won his lady from an ailurophobic rival with ancient greece picture assistance of a purring piece of tortoise-shell. And Peggy Bacon has woven a diverting tale of an ailurophobic King and a felinophilistic Queen whose troubles were finally solved by ancient greece picture Court Physician, who brought them a thin, wiry, long-legged creature, with no tail at all, large ears like sails, a face like a lean isosceles triangle with ancient greece picture nose as a very sharp apex, eyes small and yellow like flat bone buttons, brown fur, short and coarse, and large floppy feet. It had a voice like a steam siren and its name was Rosamund. The King and Queen were both devoted to it; she because it was a cat, he because it seemed anything but a cat. 3 2 Dr. S. Weir Mitchell spent some time investigating ancient greece picture matter of ailurophobia, sending letters of query all over ancient greece picture world. He reported 4 that from one point of view ancient greece picture result was entirely unsatisfactory. The mass of evidence he accumulated gave him no clue to ancient greece picture cause of ancient greece picture ailment. It has sometimes been included with prenatal phenomena but without, it would seem, sufficient justification. Dr. Mitchell educes a theory that it is ancient greece picture odour which these ailurophobes detect when they ferret out hidden pussies but cats, house-cats at any rate, are practically devoid of odour to ancient greece picture ordinary nose. However it must be remembered that there are people who can sort handkerchiefs fresh from ancient greece picture laundry by smelling them. Nevertheless Dr. J. G. Woods theory that ailurophobes sense hidden cats by their electricity seems more plausible. 3 Whatever ancient greece picture cause there are many recorded instances of persons suffering from ailurophobia exhibiting symptoms of distress in rooms which apparently contained no cats; later cats would be discovered, hidden behind curtains or in closets. Dr. Mitchell furnishes us with an interesting example: In my own family an uncle was ancient greece picture subject. My father, ancient greece picture late Professor John K. Mitchell, having placed a small cat in a closet with a saucer of cream, asked Mr. H. to come and look at some old books in which he would be interested. He sat down, but in a few minutes grew pale, shivered and said, There is a cat in ancient greece picture room. Doctor Mitchell said, Look about you. There is no cat in ancient greece picture room. Do you hear one outside? He said, No, but there is a cat. He became faint and, complaining of nausea, went out and promptly recovered. 4 Rudyard Kipling once wrote an amusingly ironic story 5 about an ailurophobe, who, through seemingly mystic channels, was plagued with cats even as ancient greece picture Egyptians were plagued with locusts. Half ancient greece picture psychical societies in India appear to have been interested in ancient greece picture solution of ancient greece picture phenomenon but ancient greece picture explanation when it finally came was neither supernatural nor miraculous. The page in which Kipling describes ancient greece picture sending is very diverting: When a man who hates cats wakes up in ancient greece picture morning and finds a little squirming kitten on his breast, or puts his hand into his ulster-pocket and finds a little half-dead kitten where his gloves should be, or his trunk and finds a vile kitten among his dress-shirts, or goes for a long ride with his mackintosh strapped on his saddlebow and shakes a little squalling kitten from its folds when he it, or goes out to dinner and finds a little blind kitten under his chair, or stays at home and finds a writhing kitten under ancient greece picture quilt, or wriggling among his boots, or hanging, head downwards, in his tobacco-jar, or being mangled by his terrier in ancient greece picture veranda,when such a man finds one kitten, neither more nor less, once a day in a place where no kitten rightly could or should be, he is naturally upset. When he dare not murder his daily trove because he believes it to be a Manifestation, an Emissary, an Embodiment, and half a dozen other things all out of ancient greece picture regular course of nature, he is more than upset. He is actually distressed. 5 Ailurophobes, as a rule, do no harm to cats, although they are often quite willing to have others put them out of ancient greece picture way. They usually let cats alone and as cats like to be let alone they often manifest perverse attention towards ailurophobes, giving them marks of affection and honour. I once had a large silver-ringed cat, writes Andrew Lang, of unemotional temperament. But finding a lady, rather ailurophobic, in a low dress at dinner, Tippoo suddenly leaped up and alighted on her neck. He was never so friendly with nonailurophobes. 6 No, it is not from people who fear cats that pusss greatest enemies are recruited. Perhaps unjust and stupid natural historians 6 have had something to do with ancient greece picture occasional disfavour in which domestic felines are held. Witness, for example, what Buffon has to say about ancient greece picture tiger in ancient greece picture house: The cat is a faithless domestic, and only kept through necessity to oppose to another domestic which incommodes us still more, and which we cannot drive away, for we pay no respect to those, who, being fond of all beasts, keep cats for amusement. Though these animals are gentle and frolicsome when young, yet they, even then, possess an innate cunning and perverse disposition, which age increases, and which education only serves to conceal. They are naturally inclined to theft and ancient greece picture best education only converts them into servile and flattering robbers; for they have ancient greece picture same address, subtlety, and inclination for mischief or rapine. Like all knaves, they know how to conceal their intentions; to watch, wait, and choose opportunities for seizing their prey; to fly from punishment, and to remain away until ancient greece picture danger is over, and they can return with safety. They readily conform to ancient greece picture habits of society, but never acquire its manners; for of attachment they have only ancient greece picture appearance, as may seem by ancient greece picture obliquity of their motions and ancient greece picture duplicity of their looks. They never look in ancient greece picture face those who treat them ancient greece picture best, and of whom they seem to be ancient greece picture most fond, but either through fear or falsehood, they approach him by windings to seek for those caresses they have no pleasure in, but only to flatter those from whom they receive them. Very different from that faithful animal ancient greece picture dog, whose sentiments are all directed to ancient greece picture person of his master, ancient greece picture cat appears only to feel
