Hollywood black cat audition for Tales of Terror, a 1962 film adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’sshort story, “The Black Cat.” The chosen feline got to hang out with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre on set. By Ralph Crane. See more pics here.
The first time I saw a cat on a leash was a rather definitive moment in my life. My fourth grade class was on a field trip in Sacramento, which I imagined at the time to be some great American metropolis. Everything seemed upside-down, wildly different from my mundane life in suburban Orange County. In this great capital, people walked their cats on leashes. The train museum was also cool.
