1. Black and white photo cropped to an oval shape. A fluffy white kitten looks at the camera seeming a little peeved and blearily like he was just woken up for this. The word “Baby.” is superimposed in white text on the bottom.

This adorable photo is of Roger Hicks of East Liverpool, OH in the late 1940s. It was generously shared with me by his niece!

1. Sepia toned black and white photo of a young white boy smiling at the camera with a look of genuine, radiant joy. In his arms he cradles a shorthaired tabby cat upside down like a baby. The cat looks perfectly comfortable and content.

1. Black and white photo of a shorthaired tuxedo tabby kitten on a floor next to a black, old fashioned candlestick type telephone. The kitten is sitting up on its haunches with its paws against the mouthpiece, peering into it curiously. Another kitten can be seen a couple feet away, blurry but you can see its sleeping in the upright loaf position.

1. Black and white photo of a scruffy little longhaired tuxedo tabby kitten, it looks ginger to me. It is sitting close in front of an enormous old television set with its head turned back toward the camera as if waiting for someone to turn the tv on. This is taking place in a living room type setting, the kitten sitting on a throw rug on a wooden floor.

1. Grainy black and white photo of a man in a nice vest, trousers, white shirt, and bowler type hat, sitting on a wooden chair and milking a cow. He’s smiling and looking down at a shorthaired tabby sitting on the ground next to him while he directs a stream of milk from the cow’s udder to the cat’s mouth.

1. Oil painting of a dark interior lit only by a warm table lamp while a little bit of cool evening light spills in from an open door. The table is laid with a dinner - it looks like wine, a soup tureen, and some kind of meat on a platter. A woman stands in the doorway like she was perhaps calling to someone outside, but she looks back to keep an eye on a shorthaired tabby cat that is sitting on a chair at the dinner table, stretching up to look at the meat.

1. Oil painting of a shorthaired classic brown tabby - meaning its coat pattern is swirling, marbled lines of brown and black. It looks pretty chonky and it is crouched in the snow as if it has just pounced and landed there but missed whatever it was trying to pounce on. Its head is up and looking in the distance, possibly at the prey it just missed.

1. Grainy, sepia toned black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby cat, asleep upright in loaf position with its little white forepaws pressed together almost as if in prayer. Its little face is very relaxed with eyes shut tight, snoozing on white lace fabric over a pillowy surface.
