From a 1913 edition of The Cat Courier, printed in Rochester, NY:
The Queen City Cat Club of Seattle's float in the Potlatch Parade, held each mid-July in Seattle, Washington. The celebration was similar to the Mardi Gras.
The float had "cages containing twelve prize-winning cats, representing all classes, and alongside the cages were eight large, handsome silver cups won by the various cats on exhibit. Above the cages sat a huge papier mache cat, six feet in height, as though keeping guard. By the sides of the float marched four pages clothed to represent white, silver, black and brown cats, and wearing large cat head masks."
