1871: Rosalie Goodman, the Crazy Cat Lady of New York’s Lower East Side » GoodmanCats

Mrs. Goodman's Hospital for Cats

As Rosalie told her story to the news reporter, there were dozens of cats at her feet, “whose musical purring kept time to the clicking of an old fashioned Dutch clock on the mantelpiece.” Some cats were on the table and chairs, and one little kitten was sleeping on the top shelf of the closet. Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, volume 3, 1875.
