Dachshund Village (1961)

British Pathé

Synopsis: Newsreel footage showcases dachsunds in Gergweis, Germany.

Reality Cat: Amazingly a young tuxedo cat shows up in the middle of the newsreel, sitting atop a fence post with several dachshunds jumping up and barking at her. The cat swipes at them, keeping them at bay as a woman in the background watches.

One of the dachshunds then gets up on the fence (or was probably put there by the camera crew) and slowly approaches the cat, who is looking the other way.

The cat doesn’t appreciate the dog sniffing at her and lets him know.

Eventually the dachshund nudges the cat off the post and takes its place.

Final Mewsings: Someone certainly ended up in the wrong newsreel!
