Drew the Line at Cats.

To the list of divorces for seemingly trivial causes —such as “cruelty In not taking me out riding,” “cruelty In requiring me to sew on buttons,” etc., has now been added a divorce granted to a man who charged his wife with “cruelty in keeping cats in the house,” thereby preventing him from occupying his favorite chair. On the Judge's inquiring, “Why didn’t you put the cats out of the house?” the man answered, “My wife is a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and I was afraid she would have me arrested.”
