British Pathé

Synopsis: Newsreel footage of the many animals in a pet shop in London.

Reality Cats: A wide variety of animals are showcased, including numerous dogs, birds, fish, and even a monkey and some mongeese. A pair of Blue Persian cats in a cage appear to be about the only cats in the shop.

One woman reportedly pays two guineas for one of the pedigree Persian cats.

Final Mewsings: This pet shop needed less mongeese and more cats!
