The information that we have available on Puzzums is pretty scant, sadly. All we know for certain is that Puzzums appeared in "Charlie Chan's Chance" (1932) as the cat who saved Charlie Chan's life by nudging the aim of a weapon of death away from Mr. Chan and toward the villian.
Do you have any more information on Puzzums? Were there any other Charlie Chan films that Puzzums appeared in that you can verify? A number of us suspect that this could be the case, as other black cats are seen in several other Chan movies. Do you happen to know how long Puzzums lived? Do you have any photo images of Puzzums that you would be willing to share? It would be interesting to learn which Puzzums items you have in your collection!
Again, I regret that the only infor mation we have regarding Puzzums the cat is what you find presently at this humble website.
I will look through my Puzzums items this week and will let you know what information I have on him. I do have many pictures of Puzzums and I know that I have some newpaper articles as well.
I will likely post my Puzzums items on eBay for auction.
Eileene,
This is a little late but the only place that I know has anything about Puzzums is here at Rush's website:

Eileene, could we persuade you to share with us?! I would also be honored if you'd like to let people know about what you have on my website as well!
