  1. Watty Collin's Cat

    Share Share Post
    Watty Collins had a cat and one evening his children gathered around him looking for boots. He took their measures and the cat was sitting in the corner and she stepped up to Watty and stuck her nails through his knee. And he said to him "You're buying boots for all your children and I have no pair only barefooted". So Watty got afraid of the cat and he said he would see after then and he went next day to a gentleman that was living near him.
