fanciers-were worried by the depredations of marauding cats owned by five not
less elderly spinsters, and, hoping to get control of the cats, they married

cat and pigeons were concerned; but it was not long before each cat had claimed
a victim and each fancier had lost his favorite pigeon. Mrs. Downs's cat
