Black Cat Casting Call


Okay, this photo is an instant favorite. In 1961, black cat owners lined up at a Hollywood casting call for a thriller directed by Roger Corman, and starring Vincent Price. The director sought one lucky black cat to co-star, and six lookalikes to stand in.

Also interesting that the owners all appear to be women. :)

What an interesting tidbit! I wonder if the cats liked anything about what they were doing with the movie. What an adventure for them.

Check out my blog about a colony of abandoned/feral cats near my home. There will be stories there as time goes on that could inspire and inform anyone you know who wants to help homeless cats.
