On the choice of cats for his photos Frees states in in his book Animal Land on the Air: "Rabbits are the easiest to photograph in costume, but incapable of taking many human parts. Puppies are tractable when rightly understood, but the kitten is the most versatile animal actor, and possesses the greatest variety of appeal. The pig is the most difficult to deal with, but effective on occasion." In the 1940s, he moved to Florida, where he battled cancer, but ended up committing suicide in 1953.
