Which Cat Is Your Wife?, 1952

Hahahah!! Ladies, your husband thinks you're a domestic animal! C'mon! It's FUNNYYY!!!

From the October issue of Everywoman's magazine.

It's important that your cat or kitten match the paneling in the guest room!

My half-Abyssinian is "playful" all right, if by that they mean loves diving into the trash, crashing into CD towers, and mauling the humans at random intervals.
