Black Cat Audition

Many of you might have seen pictures from the 1961 audition to find the perfect black cat for the movie Tales of Terror, before. But I found lots of more photos from this Hollywood event that I hadn't seen myself yet, so I decided to do a post with them. Since cats aren't really known to be able to sit still or behave well around other, unfamiliar cats, I think it's pretty amazing they actually managed to do this audition. Haha! All photos were taken by Ralph Crane for LIFE Magazine.
