1956: world’s smallest man and his cat pictured

In 1956, Henry Behrens was the world’s smallest man. Here is a picture of him with his black cat standing on his hind legs. It is a remarkable picture of a cat. The scaling is amazing. As one Reddit comedian said, ‘That’d be like living with a panther!’. That’s a bit cruel. Mr Benrens lived in Worthing, UK as I understand it. One webpage indicates that he lived in the USA but I believe that this is incorrect as the pictures of the troupe are from England; the southeast to be particular which is where Worthing is.
