The old and eternal question: was the cat in the straight jacket because it was insane?…or was it insane because it was in the straight jacket and couldn’t scratch itself?
It wasn’t banned — Seuss’ publisher refused to spend millions producing a book that was just 37 pages of a cat sitting perfectly still in a padded room. And it didn’t test well:
Janey (7): I don’t get it.
Billy (4): Kitty looks sad.
Timmy (6); Is this supposed to be funny or what?
Violet (8): Feline vision is substantially more acute than any human’s. While humans often think cats are insane for staring at nothing, that’s pure chauvinism. The cat is watching something so minute the human is unable to see it.

In the fifties? Harvey came out in the fifties. I’m still not sure that Jimmy Stewart’s Mr. Dowd wasn’t as nutty as a Snickers bar.

While on a plane, he created a racket.
They declared him insane – he now wears a jacket.

Banned by people who know better than to dress their cat.

If there are straight jackets, why would anyone want to wear a crooked jacket?

I am not a cat lover but, just seeing a cat in a straight jacket in a padded cell is amusing enough.
