In the early Sixties, Andy had met Billy Name, and went to a party at his apartment on the lower east side. The apartment had been done entirely in silver foil, silver paint, silver everything. Andy loved it, and asked Billy to do the same for his new workspace/loft. That was at the end of 1963...the beginning of the Silver Factory era.In the Factory People film, Billy Name explains the cat in the picture. It's "Ruby"
