Law in a Free State
Stray cats fed by an old lady, whose growing numbers prompt the formation of a voluntary charitable subscription club.
She is soon recognised as a benefactress, and the cats for a mile round swarm to her threshold.
So, cats like the scent of verbena and musk.
And even the poor crabbed bigot, after his Lenten salad, will linger over some flower, whose fragrance arouses the memory of half-forgotten days, with emotions widely different from the feelings of a tom-cat in a bed of musk.
The Histories
Domestic cats, described for their breeding behavior and fire-related conduct, and honored with shaving-mourning and sacred burial at Bubastis.
When this happens, there is great mourning in Egypt.
And when a fire breaks out, very strange things happen among the cats.
and there would be many more, were it not for what happens among the cats.
