"'I am not sure, I said, politely, 'that I recall that particular discussion. May I ask what was the question brought up? "'The Felis domestica question. "'Ah, that must indeed be interesting! And er what may be the Felis do do "'Domestica not dodo. Felis domestica, the common or garden cat. "'Indeed, I murmured. "'You are not listening, he said. "I only half heard him.
In dull times it can subsist upon a meagre diet of telegraphic brevities, police court paragraphs, and city jottings; but when the universe is agog with news, it will exhibit the insatiable appetite which is its chief distinguishing mark of difference from the common felis domestica.
A thousand attempts to find a good wife just one woman who could furnish a man a little rational companionship at night. Bluebeard also must have been a well-informed person. And Henry the Eighth there was a man who had evidently picked up considerable knowledge and who made considerable use of it. But to go back a moment to the idea of the felis family.
Not merely a large specimen of Felis Leo, ranging the fields of Nemea, be sure of that. This Nemean cub was one of a bad litter. Born of Typhon and Echidna, of the whirlwind and the snake, Cerberus his brother, the Hydra of Lerna his sister, it must have been difficult to get his hide off him.
Later I had the pleasure of shaking his paw and congratulating him on his bravery. After many futile attempts, at last our opportunity to get a Felis Concolor arrived.

Although these are not retractile, neither are they so curved or sharp as those of the genus Felis; they inflict terrible wounds upon a human being, and when the head of a man has been in a bear's grip it has generally been completely scalped.
"Ah!" he said tolerantly, "the fierce rush of New York life! How it wipes from the retina to-day the image impressed on it but yesterday. Is it not so, Comrade Jarvis?" The cat-expert concentrated himself on his patient's paws without replying. "A fine animal," said Smith, adjusting his monocle. "To what particular family of the Felis Domestica does that belong?
Spitted by the railway, the hub of many turnpikes, and surrounded by a thickly-peopled country, it is yet near enough to the mountains to receive from them each winter quite a delegation of their inhabitants. Last year wild-turkeys were shot within the corporate limits, a deer was chased within half a mile of them, and a fine specimen of Felis Canadensis was killed in an orchard still nearer.
