Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

A cat belonging to a young lady residing in North street, St. Andrews, Scotland, went missing. A search was made, and the loss was advertised, and all hope of the return of puss was given up. After the cat had been absent for 24 days a maid, on cleaning the drawing room of the house in Greyfriars Garden, heard the mewing of a cat. Her mistress at once procured men to remove the built-in grate, behind which the cat was discovered in a very emaciated condition. Its owner was surprised of the find, and quickly attended to her cat which has since made a wonderful recovery. It is surmised that the cat had been hunting for birds and fallen down the chimney.
