I've seen photos of Sheba on the blog before -- I believe even one after she had died. Was this cat well known by the public? At a time when there were a lot of big cat acts why was she so special?
Thanks in advance to the cat act historians.
Sheba was well-known because Terrell Jacobs knew how to work publicity. He got a photo with her and Richard Nixon, among many other celebs of the day, proving Jacobs never missed a chance for a good shot. As his lead, or star cat, he was able to get her photos and stories published on the wire services, going worldwide.
