Your print is by Kunisada II and was published in 1866. The title is: 金華七変化の内 老母落葉実は玉垂の怪猫 (`Kinka shichihenge no uchi'`rōbo rakuyō jitsuwa tamadareno kaibyō') (something about a monster cat). There is one at the Ritsumeikan University here:

However, it is mostly in Japanese.

It is one of series of 7 prints. Here is the full series:
