Mrs. Smith's Kitty
Published Jan 01, 1900
Mrs. Smith's kitty isn't feeling well - a bad case of constipation. She calls the vet, who prescribes her a new kind of laxative. "Give her about six teaspoons of it, and she'll be better in no time."
Mrs. Smith does as she's told and brings the cat in a week later. The vet asks, "How's your calf?"
"Calf? I don't have a calf. It was my CAT who wasn't feeling well."
"Oh no! That laxative was designed for a larger animal! There's no telling how it might affect a smaller one! How's your cat doing?"
"I'm not sure. The last time I saw her, she was heading toward the north end of town with ten other cats. Five were digging, three were covering, and two were scouting for new territory."
