I don’t know the story behind this photo so I’m going with “Gentlemen’s Cat Appreciation Society”. Ca. 1860 - 1880. https://www.historicnewengland.org/explore/collections-access/gusn/221756

I love photos like this. There’s nothing going on, really, someone just saw this and said “Oh he’s so HANDSOME. I have to take picture.” From my collection, 1959.

This is one of my favorites in my collection - smooshing babbys back around 1910. The back identifies the woman as Fay, the cats are Smut and Spot (remember ‘smut’ can mean dirt or soot, not just obscene material).

This is my lifestyle brand. From King Grimalkum and Pussyanita or, the Cats’ Arabian Nights by Abby Morton Diaz, 1881. The accompanying text reads, "The grandma woman used to hold me, and speak softly to me, and if I jumped on her shoulder she never pushed me off and said 'scat!'. "If I jumped up there when she was eating breakfast she let me stay, and let me taste of her breakfast." 🥰

This is from a 1950s coloring book about the three little kittens who lost their mittens. I love the addition of this fabulous Auntie Katie character. There was no author or artist cited in the book!
