Perhaps wearing a uniform might help!

They were promoting the Black Cat brand and had black paw prints put on the pavement running up to their front doors 🙂

Much more likely that he sold pet food to households who could afford to buy it in the days before mass marketing of bespoke tins and pouches. As to how often he or his customers gave away any leftovers to strays I can’t know!

Catsmeat man? What does that mean?

I hope it means someone who was paid to feed strays.

That is what it means, isn’t it?
