Waffles the three-legged, chonky, tabby cat, sleeping on his side with one eye open, his front legs tucked up under his chin, and his one hind leg sticking out.

Dental Phantom, c.1898. Or, what it feels like to live in 2025.

The dental phantom was first created by the Glaswegian dentist Eduard Oswald Fergus a few years earlier as a tool for students to practice their craft before working on human subjects.

A metal head with a mouth wide open as if it is screaming. Inside are a full set of dentures.

Ronald Hutton called it 'The best overall view of the subject... It not only covers the traditional remit of folklore but extends it into many less conventional areas'. And you can't argue with Ronald Hutton 😁 You can buy #Folklore in bookshops & here manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526180377/

#cats

This cat looks like it runs a whole city with an iron fist in the 1800s That cat is absolutely an orphan- generating coal baron. The mustache and top-hat are there in spirit, if not actually.

[[the cat is really furry and it looks like he has a mustache on him - he look mad]

It's a fancy-dress #Caturday.
The lady may be taking her life in her hands trying to put a laurel wreath on a cat who is already peeved at the spotted bow-tie inflicted on it.

Woman in fancy dress puts a laurel wreath on a cat wearing a red and white polka-dotted bow tie. They are both sitting on a crescent moon. Cover of The Black Cat magazine October 1895

If you ever see this book in a bookstore and you have a kid age 6-10 you should buy a copy. My daughter gets obsessed with it during spooky season. She won't even put it down to eat
