"
"That's so," agreed Flossie.
So calling to the stray cat in their soft, little voices, and holding
out their hands to pet the animal, Flossie and Freddie walked farther
away from the sight-seeing car, and soon they were petting the cat that,
indeed, did look a bit like Snoop.
They stroked the soft back of the cat, rubbed its ears, and the animal
rubbed up against their legs and purred. Then, suddenly, the cat heard a
dog barking somewhere, and ran down toward the side entrance of a large,
handsome house.
"Oh, come on!" cried Freddie to his sister, as he saw the cat running
away. "Maybe there's some little cats back here, and we could get one to
take home with us! Come on, Flossie!"
Flossie was willing enough to go, and in a moment they were in the rear
yard of one of the big houses, and out of sight from the street where
the auto stood, while the man was putting water in the radiator.
The cat, once over its fright about the barking dog, seemed quieter now,
and let the two little Bobbsey twins pet it again. Freddie saw a little
box-like house in one corner of the yard and cried:
"I'm going to look here, Flossie! Maybe there's kittens in it!"
"Oh, let me see!" exclaimed the little girl.
