    This used to be much more common before big box stores took over. Hardware and Farm Supply stores always had cats to keep rodents from eating the grain/feed or nesting in the lumber.

    I suppose if you like overly clingy pets they are. Every dog I've ever seen is always up in their owner's business. Take a break sometimes dogs.

    no other info other than "one at bedtime for rest". guess they didn't have to indicate what the medicine was in composition which is kind of scary because this was during the time when many pharmacist compounded their own medicines.
