Designs for a cat carrier. Provincetown, 1960.
Ball point pen.
Two spiral notebook pages, each 13 cm x 7 cm.
One deisgn is a transparent container full of tiny air-
holes - so that the cat won't feel shut off from its
surroundings. Asbestos gloves are inserted, for petting.
In the other container, the cat is enclosed in toy-animal
skin. '(A)lternative ears' convert the costume from
Teddy Bear to rabbit.
