British Pathé

Synopsis: Newsreel footage shows a kitten riding in a basket on a horse.

Reality Cat: There is no real explanation of exactly why the kitten is riding in the basket, but the narrator says the kitten and horse are friends.

The kitten’s basket is placed on the other side of the horse’s blinder, so the kitten wouldn’t be a distraction for the horse.

The young man who places the kitten in the basket leads the cart horse away with a dog following close by.

Final Mewsings: Kittens love to ride shotgun!
