Description
A cat is on the defensive, standing on its hind legs as it is cornered by a boy hiding a noose weighted with a stone behind his back. The full verse below the main illustration goes as follows:
How many lives has the cat got?
EIGHT!
But, when she was rounder,
A boy tried to drown her;
So how many lives has the cat got?
