Pied Piper Cat Leading Rats Coaster

Peter the Piper Pussykins looked through her glass and saw A sight that filled her with sorrow and awe. Twas Peter the Piper, piping loudly, While the rats and mice all followed him proudly. Out of their holes they scampered and scurried, Long tail and short tail, away they hurried! "Did ever a piper pipe," said they, "In such a touching and tender way?" Said Puss, "If he pipes so well, it's true, There'll be nothing left soon for me to do." A cat playing a pipe, is leading all the mice and rats out of town in this antique illustration from a 1901 children's book. The cat is wearing a red cape and a jaunty hat with a feather in it.
