THE MODEL CAT.
Reading edition
Mrs. Frederick W. Pender.
Written especially for this book.
NOW, there’s a cat who’s gaining fame, And Tootsy Werner is her name. And all her manners are so nice, She can’t be bought at any price. In beauty she is hard to beat; Is clever, too, and very neat; And cats of high or low degree, Can never “Tootsy’s” equal be. A ball she rolls with grace and skill, Or tangles twine at her sweet will; And often in some box or pail You’ll find her chasing her own tail. For she is full of fun and play, And sometimes likes to have her way; Tho’ still no fault in her you’ll find, This model cat, so good and kind. She never goes upon the street For fear some tramp cat she might meet, And she will never bring disgrace On Werner’s celebrated place. For there Miss Tootsy got her name, And there she made a start in fame; And should you wish, why, more to know, To Tootsy’s home you’ll have to go—— To EDGAR S. WERNER & CO., 43 & 45 East 19th Street, New York City.
