No Cat Calls [Emily Post Street Signs]
1987

A pink diamond-shaped sign with bold black text and graphics depicting a prohibition against catcalling. The sign features a silhouette of a woman with her hand up as if to signal 'stop' to a truck with a cat's face, which represents 'catcalls.' Below the truck, the words "WHISTLING KISSING SOUNDS" are listed as additional behaviors that are not allowed.
