1. Got milk? Specifically, Nestle’s Swiss Milk? Apparently, according to this ad from between 1893 and 1924 and currently in in the Library’s Art and Architecture Collection, it’s very important for cats to have it, because it makes them “sound in limb and brain.” Actually, a while back, we posted the prequel to this ad, in which the brown cat had been drinking - gasp - skim milk instead, and looked rather, well, not sound in limb and brain. His friend set him straight, though, and now they’re both fat with coats like silk. A happy ending for a happy Caturday!
