British Pathé

Synopsis: Newsreel footage shows a kitten riding in a basket attached to a donkey’s head.

Reality Cat: Another mysterious clip shows a tabby kitten sitting in a basket on the saddled donkey’s forehead.

A little girl is holding onto the kitten and basket which is a good thing since the donkey starts shaking his head.

A man then leads the donkey who is now being ridden by the little girl down the beach. The man also keeps hold of the kitten and the basket. The title of this segment is actually Donkey and Kittens but only one kitten actually appears.

Final Mewsings: Did anyone ask the kitten if he or she wanted a donkey ride?
