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.

1. Black and white photo taken from inside a home, looking out of a window. Perched on the sill outside is a shorthaired tabby cat, looking peevishly inside as if waiting to be let in.

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.

1. Two inch tall ceramic figurine of a shiny black cat with a white face, sitting up and meowing. It seems to only have two rounded little canine teeth in its open pink mouth.

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.

This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

1. Black and white photo of a strong jawed middle aged man wearing a sport coat and sitting up with his left hand on his knee in a manly posture. He is looking up above his left shoulder where a shorthaired white and tabby kitten is perched, looking like it’s a bit stunned by the flash.

Last week was sad for me (nothing dire or cat-related, just upsetting old work drama that resurfaced), but then today my friend Adelle was casually like “oh, I have something for you” and pulls out AN ENVELOPE OF VINTAGE CAT PHOTOS. No big deal, just my favorite thing in the world. It was the right surprise at the right moment to make everything better. 💕
