Félicette - The 1st French cat in space

August 18, 2014

Cats are pretty special. But some cats go that extra mile. In this case quite literally.

Over 50 years ago, France launched Félicette the cat aboard Veronique AGI sounding rocket No. 47 (October 18, 1963). Félicette was recovered alive after a 15 minute flight and a descent by parachute. Epic, I think you'll agree?

In a small effort to promote those cats who, quite rightly, are famous in their own right - I present 'Cats of Fame'. Kicking off with a very limited-edition run of printed bags featuring Félicette - the 1st French cat in space. Each bag is hand printed by myself. Drop me a line, if you would like one.

Look out for more feline activity in the coming months.
