ANOTHER CAT AND DOG STORY.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Having seen the cat and dog story which appeared in last week's issue of the Spectator, I thought your readers might be interested to hear about a somewhat similar incident. On one occasion an Irish terrier belonging to us had been "poaching," and on his return my husband thought it necessary in the interests of his morals to chastise him. Our tabby cat, however, was not of the same opinion, and sprang at my husband, and struck him, spitting all the time! When she was put aside, she returned to the attack, and would not see her companion punished. It is the only case I have heard of in which a cat attacked a man in defence of a dog.—I am, Sir, &c., Ross A. EVANS. North field, Noiccastleton, Scotland.
