Catus, the Cat =THE CAT As to the Cat's Eyes, authors say that they shine in the Night, and see better at the full, and more dimly at the change of the Moon. Also that the Cat doth vary his Eyes with the Sun ; the Pupil being round at Sunrise, narrow towards Noon, and not to be seen at all at Night, but the whole Eye shining in the darkness. These appearances of the Cat's Eyes I am sure are true; but whether they answer to the time of the Day, I have never ob- served. It is a crafty, subtle, watchful Creature, very loving and familiar with Mankind; but the mortal Enemy of the Rat, Mouse, and every sort of Bird, which it seizes on as its Prey. Its flesh is not generally eaten, yet in some Countries is esteemed an excellent dish. The Compleat English Physician, 1693, William Salmon. 76
THE CAT: For whoso wolde senge a cattes skyn, Thenne wolde the cat wel dwellen in hir in And if the cattes skyn be slyk and gay, She wol nat dwelle in house half a day. But forth she wol, er any day be dawed, To shewe hir skyn, and goon a-caterwawed. 77 Chaucer.
