British Pathé

Synopsis: Newsreel footage shows artist Doris Zinkeisen working at home with her Siamese cat nearby.

Reality Cat: The segment begins with the narrator talking about the Siamese cat named Ty (it could also be spelled Thai), saying he is a “very superior cat. In the first place, he’s Siamese. And in the second, he’s the partner and companion of artist Doris Zinkeisen. Her cat is pretty decorative himself and quite something.”

The cat is later shown walking through the 3-D model of the stage Doris is preparing.

Final Mewsings: Artists know their cats get final approval of all work.
