上款：「覺廬主人」即徐覺伯，齋號「覺廬」，民國時期蘇州珠寶業鉅子。好風雅，喜園藝，多蒐藏，一九四一年在蘇州宅中舉行賞梅雅集，公開展示收藏，當時記者著文謂「無不精湛可喜，在吾蘇夙著盛譽。」

註：「金危危日」乃農曆中記每日吉兇說法之一，即當日五行為「金」，主神與值日星宿皆為「危」，故稱「金危危」。是日畫貓可辟鼠，於明代已成風俗；清末吳大澂則云是日畫貓還能避火災；吳湖帆夫婦襲祖，復又加入「生財」一說，故「金危危日畫貓」遂成民國時期海上畫壇流行題材之一。

一九三七年正月初五、四月廿九日皆逢「金危危」，故滬上畫家以此創作較往昔年份為多，吳湖帆、潘靜淑、江寒汀、商笙伯等皆有畫貓作品存世，丁輔之則有詩〈詠金危危日畫貓三十四韻〉，時人好古之癖可見一斑。
