The Great Mouse Escape

Such a fun vintage drawing of a mouse escaping a cat. Our tabby friend looks ready to pounce on its prey. But, with a new burst of speed it looks as if the mouse is going to elude the pursuing cat. I also love the way this drawing is designed. You could easily crop and edit away the background to create your own cat drawing from this public domain image.

This and a number of other image we’ve included here on Reusable Art was included in the November 28, 1891, edition of Golden Days for Boys and Girls.
