Rabbits? Hares? I love Puss’ boots; always have.
These are small droopy dead rabbits – have a nice dinner king! I just love the way puss is playing around with the jester while presenting the dead bunnies to the king.
Hi Ho,

Yes, I saw that too; it’s cute and cat-like. The jester doesn’t look too pleased about it though; or maybe the rabbits smell!
This is a great illustration! I didn’t know there was a real puss ‘n boots from the 1800’s! So much of our history is repetitive, isn’t it? What’s happened before is what happens again!
So very true!

I like the pattern on the King’s costume.
He is a jolly looking king with a unique fashion sense!
