The Affectionate Feline,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a charming 20th-century comic postcard featuring a little girl and her mischievous cat. This delightful postcard, hailing from the bygone era of the 20th century, showcases the playful bond between a young girl and her feline companion. The girl, with her rosy cheeks and cherubic features, sits on a wooden chair, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she watches her cat, Donald McGill's "Puss," in the act of pilfering a ribbon from her dress. The cat, with a smirk on its face and a mischievous glint in its eyes, holds the stolen ribbon triumphantly in its paws. The whimsical verse on the postcard reads, "A little girl sat knitting by her fire, With a cat beside her purring all the while. He stole a ribbon from her work in play, And she only laughed and said, 'Puss, away!'" This humorous and lighthearted image is a testament to the enduring connection between children and their pets, as well as the timeless appeal of a good cat joke. The postcard's vintage charm and the antics of the mischievous feline are sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer, young or old. The intricate details of the illustration, from the girl's freckled cheeks to the stripes on the cat's fur, add to the postcard's endearing appeal. This is a wonderful addition to any collection of comic postcards, vintage memorabilia, or cat-themed decor. So, let the memories of simpler times and the antics of this mischievous feline bring a smile to your face, as you take a moment to appreciate the delightful image of "The Affectionate Feline" on this 20th-century comic postcard.
