Arguments in
favour of the far cat (feline) sex:
Cats are cleanly.
Cats have brighter

merely female grief-both of them lost their kittens. When Pestrushka fell ill,
Tigra nursed and licked it for quite a long time. And also I watched how they
reared deserted kitten.

A tom-cat behaved ill
(not like a gentleman): it took food from a cat and thrashed that poor thing. A
grey elderly tom-cat watching this behaviour stared at me, then it came to that
young cheeky tom-cat and hit it on its eat with its
