Cats as contraband war measure and myth in cat hunting drive
An analysis of German and Austro Russian wartime cat demands for soldier protection against cold, with a broader look at U S policies on cats. It notes New York and Washington debates over cats as vermin control and potential wartime supply, plus cultural musings on cats in religion and witchcraft. It references U S Department of Agriculture actions in 1905 and public campaigns against stray cats, tying feline scarcity to global conflict and historical superstition.
