62 Government tell us that out of every five hundred cats, four hundred are allowed to stay out at night. The greatest numbers of birds are killed between supper and breakfast.

If you have a cat, keep it in at night, feed it meat and water in addition to milk, and put wire cat guards around trees where there are birds’ nests and about your nest-box poles. A light colored cat is better to have than a dark one. Some pet cats are quite proud of having a long leash fastened to their collars when they are out doors.
