Cat & Dog Life

Dogs and cats go on show at two princely London venues – among them some of the fluffiest kittens London is ever likely to see.

Non-Fiction 1928 6 mins Silent

Overview

This extended five-minute film contains shot after shot of cuddly kittens and dashing dogs. Proof, were it needed, that long before the internet, the British public loved looking at cute creatures. Filmed at Alexandra Palace – there’s a nice interior shot - and Crystal Palace during animal shows, the unbearably cute highlights include five fluffy kittens in a wicker basket, and a tiny puppy licking the nose of a gargantuan Great Dane. Ah!
