British Pathé

Synopsis: Newsreel footage shows the willing and unwilling participants of a cat show in Brooklyn, New York.

Reality Cats: The New York cats featured in the show are really lovely.

But they have that New York attitude as well, such as a calico who is just having nothing to do with being brushed!

Several nicely framed cats are shown, such as a close up of a beautiful Persian, a group of Siamese and some Angora kittens in vases.

There’s also a short segment devoted to a cat who drinks milk from a bottle, or rather has milked poured from a bottle on to his mouth.
