EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, a street trader named Pussys Butcher can be seen selling cat food from his humble cart in the bustling heart of a historic city. The butcher, dressed in a worn apron and a flat cap, is deeply engrossed in feeding a scrap of food to a passing cat. The feline, with its piercing eyes and alert posture, stands on its hind legs, reaching out with its paws to grasp the morsel offered. The scene exudes a sense of early 20th-century charm, with the cobblestone street, horse-drawn carts, and the warm glow of the street lamps casting long shadows on the ground. The butcher's cart, adorned with colorful signs and various cat food tins, adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the street trade. Pussys Butcher was a common sight in many European cities during the early 20th century. These street traders played a crucial role in providing for the needs of pet owners, who relied on them for fresh meat, fish, and other essential supplies for their beloved companions. The tradition of selling cat food from carts dates back to the late 1800s and continued well into the mid-1900s. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the unique bond between a street trader and a curious cat, as well as the rich history of pet care and street trading. It is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and connections that have endured through the test of time.
