The Panacea Cats at the Ordering Mouse Meat

National Postcard Week
May 4-10, 2014

The Panacea Cats in Laurel, Mississippi

O'Bear gets upset with Gatsby because he doesn't sell mouse meat!  I tell him he can catch his own mice, but he claims that isn't dignified for a cat like him..

O'Bear and Missy were cats that belonged to the Elmo Mays family.  Gatsby is Spencer List's dog.  They live in Los Angeles, California.  Alain, Bobby and Colin Hain claim Coco as their cat.  Jupiter, Florida is their home.

This postcard was drawn by Rick Geary for Bette Mays in 2014.

Dressed Cats by Alfred Mainzer, Wedding Photo

Alfred Mainzer, Inc.

This postcard is unused.  I love all the details in his work. The cats getting married are lovely, but the dog chasing the birds and knocking the camera over is my favorite part. From the looks of the bridesmaid and best 'cat', I'm thinking their wedding is next.
