Summary

Pathe synopsis: High summer’s holiday time. Millions of people lock the back door, turn off the gas, and head for the Continent, the seaside, or the quiet countryside. They go in fancy clothes, in bikinis, on bikes, in Bentleys. They have only one thing in common: they don’t take the cat. But today’s pussy goes his own way on holiday - to a cats’ camp. There, the menu ranges from turkey to steamed delicacies, served to these favoured felines as they bask in their own sun courts, outside individual chalets. It’s enough to make a cat laugh.

Researcher Comments

Introduction: Actually we’ve mixed three pet-stories together, in this issue - racing pigeons, resting cats, and rollicking donkeys.
