Here is a Caturday quiz, courtesy of this undated Lambert and Butler cigarette card from our George Arents Collection, and in honor of kids going back to school this month. The question is, “What is it which a cat has but no other animal?” Let’s hear your answers. We’ll post the real one later, which appeared on the back of the card. But we’re warning you, it’s incredibly stupid. Just don’t cheat by going to our Digital Gallery - but if you do, check out the other 699,999 images we have there. They’re all great, even if they don’t have cats in them.
