Summary edit
| Description |
English: Line drawing of a cat with mice, by Palmer Cox (1940-1924) The page was titled "The Lazy Pussy", first published in St. Nicholas Magazine, March 1880. Art and text:
"There lives a good-for-nothing cat, So lazy it appears, That chirping birds can safely come And light upon her ears. And rats and mice can venture out To nibble at her toes, Or climb around and pull her tail, And boldly scratch her nose. Fine servants brush her silken coat And give her cream for tea;- Yet she's a good-for-nothing cat, As all the world may see." |
