April 9, 1945

April 9, 1945 is the date the Cincinnati Enquirer posted an article about a cat who hypnotized people.
We found out about this at another blog, Strange Company, which did all the work on the story. You can read the story there, though we will reproduce one of the photos, of Puffy, who does look like he is up to something.

So click on the link. The only other thing I will mention here is the logo for Strange Company, which I do like:


"...we should pass over all biographies of 'the good and the great,' while we search carefully the slight records of wretches who died in prison, in Bedlam, or upon the gallows."

~Edgar Allan Poe
