A TRAVELLED CAT

JOURNEY ACROSS ATLANTIC. Zoologists will tell you that the wild cat is practically extinct in the British Isles, but the London docker would not agree, states the “Port of London Authority.” There is an army of cats in possession of parts of dockland, all half wild, and unlike household cats in appearance: they are leaner and have narrow faces. The P.L.A. makes little fuss of these feline auxiliaries to the rat-catchers but nevertheless pays their meat bill. Dockers recount the story of one cat which travelled to New York from Greenland Dock on a well-known liner. It duly returned with the ship, walked down the gangway and again resumed its accustomed place in the warehouse.
