The title pairs Mrs. R.F. Armstrong with a cat, and the record gives the animal's name as "Kilravock Donna," with "Mafalda" also appearing in the title. The record does not say which is the cat's registered name and which is a pet name, so the title should be read with that uncertainty in mind. The glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early 1900s. Its negatives often recorded the people and social life of the period, including animal shows and pet owners who were fashionable at the time. The undated record leaves the exact occasion unknown.
