"... In Wales the cat was held in great estimation. It was enacted by , "the Good," that the price of a kitten before it could see was to be a penny; if it caught a mouse, its value was raised to twopence, and afterwards to fourpence. If any one stole or killed a cat that guarded the prince's , the offender was compelled either to forfeit a ewe, or as much wheat as would cover the cat when suspended by its tail."
