From Colin Dooley
Phil Stracchino notes that his cat has opposable digits and is capable of
getting into all sorts of mischief with them
(9 June, p 51). He jokes about her
being the next stage of feline evolution, but maybe he should be more serious
about it. After all, short-legged sheep came about when Massachusetts farmer
Seth Wright noticed he had a mutant in his flock, and bred a line of sheep from
it that couldn’t jump over walls.
