Clambering back and forth over Chummy, the Jaffrays' cocker spaniel, the new-comers seem quite at home, but a state of armed neutrality is maintained with the two cats. When asked what he fed his pets, Stuart, the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Jaffray, Wilson Ave, replied, "Bread and milk, but they like meat the best. When we first got them we used babies' bottles, but they soon ate too fast for that" The racoons are kept in an outdoor cage at night but sometimes escape to menace Mr. Jaffray's garden.
