Did your brother grow up to become a lawyer?
Probably an engineer.
(From a Nancy daily comic strip in 1943) — Because of WWII, Nancy and Sluggo are able to make money using a cat. This would not have worked very well before or after the war. How did they make money using a cat in 1943?
Are we talking about a domestic feline?
Was this opportunity created due to a shortage of some item that was being rationed?
Yes.
Yes.
Were they being paid for turning in dead mice or rats?
Did it have to do with a cat’s ability to :
see at night
catch small things
jump and climb
nap
be cute
No.
No to all.
Hmmmm. Did they milk it and sell the milk because of rationing?
Was the pattern of colours of the cat’s fur at all significant?
Was it a Kitler?
No.
No to all.
Was it a true replacement for the item being rationed?
Was it a fake replacement like cat poop for chocolate?
Was it a play on words like “ten” for “tin” or an “iron” to press clothes for “iron” the metal? Like the cat’s name is “Sugar”.

I was wrong with milk. Was it (hate myself for asking this) meat?
.
No.
Were they able to get the cat to produce something by kneading?
