Roof Playground for Cats.
When the Morris Refuge, of Philadelphia, Pa., was remodeled several years ago, the thought that the haven for homeless animals would have a roof garden never entered the minds of the officers. But now there is a recreation ground on top of the building.[Pg 57]
Here dozens of cats, safe from humans, safe from fatal contact with hard substances thrown by outraged citizens, and safe from their natural enemy, the dog, pass their lives in quiet.
The entire roof of the institution is caged in with poultry wire. One end is covered. The cats play with gum balls, roll in beds of seductive catnip, and in general lead happy, peaceful lives.
