EMBLEMATIC SIGNIFICATION OF CAT.

Reading edition

IN hieroglyphics of ancient monuments of Egypt a cat represents false friendship, or a deceitful, flattering friendship.

In heraldry, a cat is an emblem of liberty, because it dislikes to be shut up.

In coat-of-arms, the cat must always be represented as full face—both eyes and both ears to show. Three cats in pale sable is the coat of the family of Kent of Devonshire.

The cat is always the emblematic animal of newspaper offices and editors’ chairs of to-day.
