'I've got my pension!': postcard of a shouting black and white kitten. The caption refers to the introduction of the first state pensions in the UK in 1909. This image of an angry & demanding kitten was used with a series of captions in the early 20th century (a sort of Edwardian meme), other captions used included 'I want my ma!' and the suffragette themed 'I want my vote!'
