Trained Cat Hypnotizes Woman

Trained Cat Hypnotizes Woman Here's a series of photos demonstrating the hypnotic powers of Puffy, Persian tomcat owned and trained by S. Arthur Newman, a New York City teacher of relaxation. Before a group of witnesses, Puffy fixes his unblinking eyes on Dorothy Cynara (??), a subject who possesses a marked antipathy for cats. As Newman speaks softly and counts to five, her head falls forward (center) and she is in a deep sleep. At bottom, Puffy's unwavering eyes are shown in a closeup.

A black-and-white three-panel newspaper clipping shows a Persian cat staring intently at a woman until she appears to fall asleep, followed by a close-up of the cat’s eyes. The joke is the exaggerated claim that the cat has hypnotic powers, turning an ordinary cat stare into a bizarre supernatural demonstration.
