A Pennsylvania College professor Investigat- ing felino taste buds says that Tubby, may not be such a sour puss after all.
Dr Hubert W. Frings, an associate professor of en- tomology, Baid it's a mistake to think that the family cat Dr has no use for sweets. Frings, who has devoted research to the tastes of mony animals, takes issue with a European.selentist who reported that the cat. has no liking for sugar or sweet tasting, food...
Beverley Cox, a graduate student, helped the professor - corral 20 cats at the farm of near Tyrone, her
parents Pa. They were plled with dfluted milk, both with and without sugar. The kitties drank the sweetened milk and snubbed the other kind every time.
Dr Frings said he didn't usa whole milk because the cats would lap it up too eagerly, to tell whether the sugar made any difference. -United Press.
