Cat’s Long Walk to Old Home.
The story of‘a notable journey of a
cat from Kingston. Surrey. England.
to its former home at Glastonbury, in
Somerset-hire. a distance of about 1‘33
miles. is now told by an astonished
correspondent.
in April last scat. mottled gray
and described as half Persian in
breed. was sent, from Glastonbury.
where It had been reared, to the ma-
tron of the Kingston Nursing home.
It was sent in a packing case drilled
with air holes and obviously the ant-
malhad no opportunity of marking
the points of its journey. Soon after
arrival at Kingston the cat was lost.
and despite the most diligent search-
ing. no trace of it could be found.
The matron of the nursing home has
now received a letter from Glaston-
bury stating that the cat has found its
way back to its old home. It arrived
emaciated and footnsore and "appar-
ently had walked the whole of the
133 miles. ~
The letter describes the cat on its
arrival as "a mere shadow of its~~for~
mer self" and expresses the belief
that although terribly weak through
its wanderings. it can be nursed back
to a healthy condition. ‘ ~
