Excerpt from Cats: Their Points and Characteristics, With Curiosities of Cat Life, and a Chapter on Feline Ailments "If ye mane to write a preface to your book, sure you must put it in the end entoirely." Such was the advice an Irish friend gave me, when I talked of an introductory chapter to the present work on cats. I think it was a good one. Whether it be owing to our style of living now-a-days, which tends more to the development of brain than muscle, or whether it be, as Darwin says, that we really are descended from the ape, and, as the years roll on, are losing that essentially animal virtue - patience., certainly it is true that we cannot tolerate prefaces, preludes, and long graces before meat, as our grandfathers did.
