I killed a poor old sick cat for Mrs.Windham the other day.

We put half a teaspoonful of pure cyanide of potassium in a long-handled wooden spoon, and dropped it on the cat's tongue, as near the throat as we could.

Poor pussy--she died in a few seconds.

Do you know, I was reading such a funny thing the other day about giving cats medicine.

They hate it, and one can scarcely force it into their mouths on account of their sharp teeth.
