Parker Brothers later produced another cat parlor game, the Black Cat Fortune Telling Game, which debuted in 1897. The game involved cards of the four standard suits, each with a cat image on the back.
Matching the words on the cards’ backs could (supposedly) tell the players’ fortunes. No doubt Parker Brothers was counting on buyers to connect cats (black ones especially) with the occult and witchcraft.
