i Is Thia the Blggert Cat?
! Boston, Dec. 28. Mrs. Tobey, of
Dorchester, believes that she owns
i
the largest domestic cat In the coun
try, and challenges all the proud pos
sessors of husky felines to produce
the equal of her 'Tr.Eter." Mrs. To
bey's huge cat would malce five or six
ordinary house cats. He weighs a
little over 40 pounds, stripped for ac-
tlon, and there Isn't a dog In Dorch?s
I ter that dares meet him singly and In
1 open encounter. ,In fact, "Buster's"
chief enjoyment is to scare half to
death some canine who ventures In the
neighborhood. The dogs In Mrs. To
bty's neighborhood are well aware of
"Buster's" prowess, and do not ven
ture out alone. "Buster" la as big-
boned as ho Is heavy, measuring 30
I Inches over a yard from the tip of
Ills nose to tho end of his tell, and
I bas a waist measurement of 19 Inches.
' His muscles are like iron, and he 1ms
an extra tct on czCt foot, giving his
eTti-rn!"-- ".i? appearance of boxing
gloves. Ho Is striped like a tiger and
is as handsome as he is large.
