Description

In this week's episode, curators Melissa and Poppy are on the prowl for cat-themed collections! We explore the glorious Kattenkabinet Museum in Amsterdam, founded in honour of a much-loved pet, and marvel at Robert Southey's Cat-a-logue of kitties at Greta Hall. We also shed a small tear for Judith Kerr's Mog, who inspired the children's stories we know and love today.
