...sentimental literary properties but as if they had a dignified, unobstreperous standing in human existence.

Plagues were everywhere rampant, particularly cholera. This cause of black vomit & death was dropping 100 a day in Shanghai's International Settlement alone...
...would sometime present the subject of cat diseases before a group of veterinarians. However, constant association with any species of animal removes many dislikes." Some of the things constant association had taught Dr. Parker: "Very few cats bite or scratch except through fear"; a cat "can throw it [vomit] farther and harder than any other species of domestic animal" ; epilepsy is rather common in kittens ; castration of male kittens" should be done at about six months of age, spaying before the first year; bladder stones are very common in old, neutered toms; cats "rarely, if ever, have rickets, rheumatism, chorea...
