Three white kittens, mother cat also white grey mouse on table.

Currier & Ives produced thirteen different prints about the adventures of “little white kittie.” Vermin were a constant concern for both country and city dwellers, and cats were admired for their skill at capturing rodents. Here, a mother cat teaches the fine art of hunting to her children.
