Sometimes I put in an absurdly low bid on an eBay auction with the knowledge that I definitely won't get it but also a vanishingly slim hope that MAYBE by some miracle nobody else will bid. Anyway that is how I ended up adding this magnificent glass plate negative to my collection!

1. Sepia toned image of a middle aged white woman in dark garments looking at a very fluffy and grumpy looking tabby cat. The cat is standing at the top of a folding wooden ladder, presumably for the purpose of displaying it for this photo because the woman seems to be gently but firmly holding it in place there.

So glossy! Photo from my collection, ca. 1920s. The cat is identified as “Bamie” - maybe named after Bamie Roosevelt?

I can’t say with 100% certainty but I believe this is a portrait of two gingers. Photo from my collection, 1956.

This little guy is a postcard from my collection that was mailed in 1908. I love him so much that I use him as my avatar for all my accounts!

1. Colorized photo graph of a chubby little longhaired black kitten. It’s a studio portrait and he’s sitting on green fabric with a painted backdrop with blue and white brushstrokes resembling the sky. He’s just so round and plump and looks so happy, I love him.

1. Black and white photo of a young white woman kneeling on a lawn in a long, loose dress patterned with an abstract crosshatch line block sort of print. She has a bobbed hairstyle with a headband. She looks down thoughtfully and cradles a tabby kitten to her chest.

Divisive 1930s Royal Doulton cat figurine from my collection, "Lucky". Some people love him, some find him terrifying. 🤷♀️ I love him! Weird gremlins are very much my type.

Cursed photo (complimentary). From my collection, no documented date/info.

1. Black and white photo of a white cat, lying on a dark couch in a dark room. The high contrast makes the cat almost appear to glow while the couch and room almost disappear into darkness. The whole thing has a grainy look like a weird art film.

1. Black and white photo of a stout middle aged woman with dark hair standing outside on a scrubby dead lawn. She is leaning forward and holding the forepaws of a shorthaired tabby cat so that it is “dancing” with her on its hind legs. She seems to be smiling at the cat and maybe talking to it.
