A little early for April Fools. It was in the movie so this is a non-music forum joke, regardless of the LP cover, but I'm sure you knew that. Why not ask what happened to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car on the album cover - did it survive being in water? Did Van Dyke's pants shrink? Is there a waterfront hotel on the shoreline now? How are those red letters suspended in the sky?
It applied for and got a job as Ernst Stavro Blofeld's sidekick?
I think you may be onto something there.
There is also a white kitten on the cover of Leroy Anderson's Decca LP "Christmas Carols" (1955), but it would have been a full-grown cat by the time of La Dolce Vita.

That cat could probably tell some fascinating stories about its time on La Dolce Vita.
Isn't it amazing how influential Fellini has been for FSMers? Not just for the love of Nino Rota's music, but also because we all tend to carry ourselves with the comportment of Marcelo Mastroianni.

I wonder if James Lipton ever interviewed her. Do you think it's a her?
White cats are often deaf, and I have it on good authority that this was no exception. They had to set up a hand signal for when Fellini yelled “action”. Might explain its less-than-convincing performance.
Even the most "earnest" mainstream media coverage of Beatniks was positively putrid and condescending, so yes!
Some of that stuff is on the Rhino Beat Generation box set. Have you heard this?
Indeed I have. There's an extended news report with Beatnik interviews and profiles. That Rhino set has been in the olde collection since early 1994. I'm forever grateful to that set for including the work of FSM poet laureate, Rod McKuen.
