Yeah, well, these are all AFRICAN bottles, so I's was hoping some kind soul would recognize the specific feline fellow frolicking upon my flotsam??

Tiger (stripes not showing) or female lion?

You have to consider how animals were portrayed by artists or artisans of the era of the bottles.
I bet unlike most of us, it's a good bet they did not see the cat in person.
The only guess I can make is that it's not a domestic cat.

and not a monkey!...

All the monkeys aren't in the zoo,
Every day you meet quite a few,
So you see it's all up to you.
You can be better than you are,
You could be swingin' on a star

Servile cat...is that one that will bring you the paper, like a dog?
