When your owner leaves you for three days for a conference, and you get a new bed as a repayment. Smokey is living the spoiled cat life. ❤️😻
I’ve got bronchitis. Boo. However, Smokey has been an absolute angel.

The Indianapolis News, June 29, 1943.

Cats did help Dogs for Defense through the War Dog Fund, a fundraising option that allowed owners of animals not eligible for DFD to give their pet a military rank in the Army or Navy depending on the $ spent. However, I am really wondering how many cat owners thought their animal would be perfect as a “dog for defense.”
