In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. https://battleshipnc.catalogaccess.com/archives/28073

Amazing photo of Allen Crawford and Vic, the Wrangel Island expedition cat in the 1920s. This expedition was an absolute nightmare. Only Vic and her owner, an extraordinary woman named Ada Blackjack, survived. I strongly encourage you to look up Ada! #CatsOfYore #Cat #Cats #History #catsodon #catsofmastodon #catcontent #ilovecats #vintage https://collections.dartmouth.edu/archive/object/stefansson-wrangel/stefansson-wrangel-11-04-010#?page=stefansson-wrangel-11-04-010a

One of the nice things about hunting for cat photos is that there's seemingly no end to them. I just found this stunning shot last night - first time I've ever seen it! 1948. #CatsOfYore #Cat #Cats #History #catsodon #catsofmastodon #catcontent #ilovecats #vintage #Paris https://www.artnet.com/artists/edouard-boubat/réunion-de-chats-X5ScexC9_9ro0X-pcv1xiA2

A cat being lowered in a basket. 1933. People used to do this to let cats outside from apartment buildings. Maybe some people still do? I hope not. It's cute but doesn't seem safe. #CatsOfYore #Cat #Cats #History #catsodon #catsofmastodon #catcontent #ilovecats #vintage #tabby https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/cat-being-lowered-in-a-basket-news-photo/3070479

I think this might be fake. Kittens were not eligible for fishing licenses until the late 90s. http://ludicdespair.blogspot.com/2010/10/cats-in-pictures-how-to-photograph-your_20.html

This is a photo from the sweet and funny book The Silent Miaow by Paul Gallico with photos by Suzanne Szasz. It's a cute manual that teaches stray cats how to train humans and get them to let you move in and take over! 1964. #CatsOfYore #Cat #Cats #History #catsodon #catsofmastodon #catcontent #ilovecats #vintage
