Inky cats

What does ink have to do with cats? Not a thing, but that hasn’t stopped a couple of ink companies from using cats in their ads. In the early 1900s, the Thomas Company of Chicago used a rather stern-looking black cat in its ads, along with a slogan advising buyers to ask for “the ink with the cat on the bottle.”

Beginning in 1941, the Carter’s Ink Company used a mother cat with kittens on some of its ink bottles, and its full-color ads depicted a white mother cat hanging out her nine kittens—each a different color—to dry on a clothesline. The nine Carter ink colors fit perfectly with the slogan “Carter’s Ink has 9 dyes.”
