In a physiological point it is remarkable that two animals of such opposite natures as the cat and rabbit should unite, and the produce partake in so distinct a manner of both species. I cannot think it possible to have been produced without the intervention of both, nor that the remainder was the produce of the same male, as they are all perfectly formed kittens. I much regret I cannot give the anatomical description of this singular animal, being neither a medical nor a scientific man. It was about seven weeks old when I last saw it at a farm called Meering, about eight miles from Newark. I am, Sir, yours, Rusticus, Oct, 1831. prev     next
