Purse? (Adopts Bracknell voice) a HANDBAG!!!!

mourningdove2424.bsky.social•16 days ago

My Grandma always called her handbag a "pocket book."

sailorwayne.bsky.social•16 days ago

I thought pocketbook went in handbag. Sophisticated word, pleasing.

Any purse in a storm.

I have a theory that cats are into identity theft 😉 My cat found an expired passport of my sister's. When we adopted my cat, kittens were trying to get into my mum's handbag. I've seen @bodegacats.bsky.social Bodega Cats sitting atop ATMs. If cats could do identity theft, they would 😉

That's a Black and White 17" 1957 Philco (Table Model) rental & the Kitten is named "Muffin"

I love this. Thank you.

My favorite is old photos of cats being themselves. They're timeless.

It's the Dumont Network's "Kitten in a Purse Variety Hour" starring Morey Amsterdam as the kitten.

My mom had a purse like that—with a clasp that had two opposing metal balls that would click in place to latch it. I still remember the sound of it.

The TV is from the mid 1960's. We had one just like it when I was a kid. No info on the cat, you're on your own there.

Your posts always brighten my day.

rogerramjet.bsky.social•16 days ago

That looks like our very first TV. And I'd much rather watch the kitten.

Cats in the purse because back then kids played outside the TV wasn't a babysitter
Great pic! I could write a short story from it🐈💖

Yes, exactly. The kitten always wins.

TV is about 58 or so and the cat is about 6..

queench3rry.bsky.social•17 days ago

My daily purse is actually from the 1950s and is very similar to this one. I'd love to think a kitten sat in it over half a century ago ☺️❤️

Nothing good on TV? Kitten pantomime!

kitty-wampus.bsky.social•16 days ago

The tv and purse literally scream mid-century modern! The cat-in-purse is timeless though.

Paper bags & cardboard boxes are Cici’s favorite toys.

I remember when TVs came in huge consoles that took several men to carry. They wer quite the stsatus symbol at one time.
