did you want to do with the poor cat?" "kill!"
"Have you no pity?" "no!" "Then is the cat right if she kills you?"
"_no!_" "Why?" (The reply to this was rapped indistinctly.) "Have you
no pity for any man or animal?" "for dog!"...

22 April: I had told her that my brother was coming, and that he wore a
field-grey coat and was a soldier. When he arrived I said to her: "Who
is this?" "Your brother."

Next day she was asked in writing: "What did Lola see swimming in the
water?" "duck!" I had shown her a duck on the previous afternoon.

26 April: On this day Lola appeared before Professors Kraemer, Mack,
Kindermann and Ziegler, of Hohenheim, which resulted in these gentlemen
forwarding the following statement to the "Mitteilungen fuer
Tierpsychologie" ( = Communications respecting the psychology of
Animals), series 1916; Number 1, p. 11:

"EXAMINATION OF LOLA BY PROFESSORS KRAeMER, MACK, KINDERMANN AND
ZIEGLER

"In our presence Lola solved a number of sums, such as: 5 + 8 = 13.
30 + 10 - 15 = 25. 4 Mark - 1 mark 20 = 2 mark. 80.

"She next counted the number of persons present. After this,
several dots were scattered about a sheet of paper: at first she
put their number down as 19--but corrected this to 18. Lola then
told us the time: it was 4.16m., and after this she did some
spelling. When shown the picture of a flower she rapped: "blum"
(Blume = flower), and to my somewhat faulty drawing of a cat she
responded with "tir" (Tier = animal), while finally to the question
of what was the name of the Mannheim dog she replied "mein fadr"
(Vater = father)--we all having expected her to say Rolf. Then
followed the musical tests which amazed us most of all, for here
she exhibited an ability lacking in many an individual."

27 April: Lola very tired: groans and does everything wrong. I said:
"Are you lazy?" She replies "no." "Then why are you answering so
badly?" "go!" "Who is to go?" "_tired!_"

29 April: I asked Lola why she had not attended to me on the 22nd,
when--on a country expedition we had made together--she had insisted on
running after the game when I had called her back. I had had to hunt
after her for ten hours the next day, finding her--by the merest
chance--at a peasant's house. She had settled down there alongside of a
sheep-dog to watch the sheep, and seemed by no means pleased to see me;
