Fierce Kitty

This vintage animal illustration is the work of Jemima Blackburn (1823-1909). It apeared in The Cat’s Pulgrimage from 1870.

A fierce looking kitty sits in front of a fireplace. What could this fellow be thinking as he stares so intently with a kettle steaming behind him? This black and white cat image is on the larger side and our furry friend has a bit of an Egyptian look with the dark coloring around his eyes.
