| Dueling tomcats |
Parker Brothers, the famous board-game company that gave the world Monopoly, Sorry, Risk and other classics, is an old firm, dating back to the 1800s. One of its early products was the Amusing Game of Kilkenny Cats, obviously a take off on the old expression “fighting like Kilkenny cats”.
The game box depicted two cats (presumably toms) in waistcoats, aiming their dueling pistols at each other while their cat friends stood nearby awaiting the outcome.
