It is fascinating that people posted their cat photos for others to see even back in 1961, AND they didn't care about privacy at all and simply used their real home addresses when they did.

Finest grade catnip, can be grown (!!), 1 quart (??) for $1
Also, Linatone cat syrup: "love the flavor!", accompanied with a drawing of a cat that seems to be happy? "Makes cat food tasty"... What do you feed your cat with?!

@synec funny how the song and the album are called "speaks and shows" - the words said by the central broadcasting company in Soviet Russia at the beginning of a broadcast
