Charming lot of six original vintage snapshot photographs featuring a fluffy white long-haired cat, possibly a Persian or Persian mix. The same cat appears posed around the family home and inside an outdoor enclosure.
One especially appealing photograph shows the cat behind wire fencing beneath a handmade sign reading “Figaro Slept Here.” Other scenes include the cat posed beside a clock and elephant figurines, sitting on a small table, and standing for a full-body portrait. One photograph is handwritten “Feb. 1966” on the reverse.
