Three greedy kitties at a feast give this hand-colored lithograph its title and its joke. Published by Currier & Ives in New York around 1871, it belongs to the firm's long run of comic sheets that gave animals human appetites and manners, which sold well to ordinary households. Because the color was applied by hand, individual copies can differ slightly in tone. The print is catalogued as number 6511 in a standard reference to the firm's work, which makes it easy to place among its many other comic subjects.
