I wonder how they could be sure he was the father of all the kittens!

[vallee]

not thought of that and how did they know how many he had fathered ??? could be lots more.

I would have loved to have listed one of my felines on the census:

Black, teenage single mum, b London, parents unknown, eight illegitimate offspring by two unnamed fathers, six offspring given up for adoption in infancy. Sleeps most of the day and prone to staying out all night.

The Daily Mail would be frothing at the mouth.

As (according to the entry) he was married to the mother and therefore his name was presumably recorded on the 16 kittens birth certs, then the law would consider him the father

Also, the maid and Sister-in-law have Suffragette under the Industry column!


Doesn't it say "wash our feet" rather than street?
