. Biggle pet book ; a collection of information for old and young whose natural instincts teach them to be kind to all living creatures. Pets. VARIETIES OF CATS. 6l dogs, rabbits, etc. Their love for their master or mis- tress ends only with death. In the country thev will roam around a great deal, a habit which should be discouraged if intended for breeding or exhibition purposes. The AxGORA cat, like the Angora goat, has long, silky hair, small head and rather short nose, large eyes harmonizing with the color of the coat, small, pointed ears that are rather hidden by the heavy mane which is full and fluffy around the neck, and a long tail curv- ing upward with the hair on it longer near the body than at the top. The body is long as com- pared in proportion with common cats. Angora cats are of all colors, popular in the order named—white, black, blue or Maltese, orange or red, slate-colored, fawn, mottled gray and light gray. Mixed col- ors are more common than solid colors. The white Angora should have blue eyes to meet popular fancy. The black and yellow's eyes should be amber. These cats do not reach maturity until about two years old. They have good dispositions, are playful and friendly, but the females particularly are apt to be nervous. The illustration on page 52 shows Napoleon the Great, a pure French Angora, with bushy, orange fur. He weighs twenty-three pounds and his owner has refused an offer of four thousand dollars for him. The Persiax cat is perhaps the choicest of the long-haired varieties, particularly when pure black, with a big fluffy mane and orange eyes. Next in popularity.
