Sisters with their Beloved Family Pet in the late 1950s
My Dad owned a delicatessen in the city and our family lived next door to the store in a two-family home. In the summer of 1957, we were getting ready to move out to the suburbs since my Mom was pregnant with my brother and we needed more space. This picture of my sister and me was taken the day we were moving; we are holding our cat, Mittens. I love the fifties style playsuits/rompers that we are wearing! Our family had several cats over the years, but Mittens was always my favorite. He was such a pretty cat too with a big personality. Shortly after we moved into our new house, Mittens climbed our neighbor’s tree and wouldn’t come down! I love this picture of him because it is one of the only ones I have him. ~shared by @pattysl7
