Summary

Pathe synopsis: Once upon a time Miss Nancy Moreton of Tarvin, Cheshire, took a fancy to our feline friends. Now she has sixty-five of them occupying her mansion. Cats on the roof-top, cats on the tiles - cats on tables, in bedrooms - cats everywhere. They eat ten pounds of meat or ten pounds of fish each day - and drink a gallon of the creamiest milk. And yet, despite the cost of keeping them, she claims their purring is the sweetest music on the world.
