Puffy, the famed mystic cat, perched at the bond booth in Cafe Zanzibar on May 15, 1945, where he autographed his picture for bond purchasers as the Night Club 7th War Loan Drive got underway. Here, the king of all cats looks up at Ruth Rhind as she receives the bond she just purchased from Rose Horowitz. Puffy "sold" over $50,000 in war bonds in his first two hours as bond salesman.
