This is my lifestyle brand. From King Grimalkum and Pussyanita or, the Cats’ Arabian Nights by Abby Morton Diaz, 1881. The accompanying text reads, "The grandma woman used to hold me, and speak softly to me, and if I jumped on her shoulder she never pushed me off and said 'scat!'. If I jumped up there when she was eating breakfast she let me stay, and let me taste of her breakfast." 🥰
