• A DOG'S VOCABULARY
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sur,—You have recently published letters on the Above subject, but what about the intelligence of the ordinary domestic cat ? We have a tabby, -a "stray," who some six years ago walked into the house and settled here and was christened " Wam " by my young daughter : incidentally, during this time she has presented us with 72 kittens, Every evening " Warn" lies in front of the drawing-room fire, and at about ten o'clock I say, "Now, Warn, wake up." She regards this as purely a warning, because beyond wagging her tail crossly she makes no move. A few minutes later I say, "Warn, time to go out." • Whereupon she wags her tail rather. more vigorously;and after a little meditation rises slowly and stalki to the door.--I am; Sir, &c., "Myra,- Blundellsands.
