So Jim Kirby, a neighbour, bought her a one.
The day after, Jim happened again to call at the woman's house. She asked him what age the cat was, for said the woman, "He is always looking at me." Jim said that he was a young cat, that he only spent eighteen years in Donohill and eleven in Kilcommon and I hope said he, that he will spent ten or more with you.
