Dave Hoover's Cat Act


Here we see Hoover's cages being loaded up immediately after his act. "Pete", in the foreground, is doing the work, pulling them up via pulley block.
Since the cat act always opened the show, this unit plus Dave's personal house trailer were off the lot well before the show was over.
If the jump was short, the Hoover's would be spotted on the next lot in time to catch the Late Movie on TV.

Never really thought of it until I saw this picture, but this part of working cats always made me leary. The unloading and loading. Don't tell JC but once in Canada I left my purse on top of one of the cages while it was being loaded. It had LOTS of money in it that he ask me to hold. Now thats scary!!

Looks like Ned Potter on the wagon tongue. Can't ID the elephant man--maybe Alan Kuenster.

Yep - definately Ned Potter on the tongue, (in his single days)and I'm pretty sure that is Alan with Pete. Jimmy Cole said that it was raining when this photo was shot which is why there are the great halo effects.
