Traditional masculinity is in danger of disappearing forever, we need to return to a time when Real Men carried tiny babby kittens around everywhere. Ca. 1915. ehive.com/collections/...
Black and white photo of a handsome white man standing outside in a dark sweater and trousers, a pipe hanging from his mouth. He looks like a hard working outdoorsman. His arms are folded across his belly and in them he cradles a tiny tabby kitten.

Displeased. 1810. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
Color print of a white kitten with a calico patch on its back. It is very skeptically approaching a plate of milk or cream, a distinct frown on its face, grumpily dipping one forepaw into the liquid.

I'm less concerned with ghosts on the grand staircases of stately homes than I am with the haunted municipal steps. For I feel an affinity with the nameless dead who lived in circumstances I can relate to rather than Lord This or Lady That and their insulating wealth. – #CJosiffe

Morning and evening, 1898. www.loc.gov/resource/gdc...
Two grainy black and white photos side by side. Each depicts a fluffy white cat, on the left it is awake and looking grumpy on top of a covered wicker basket and the text underneath reads "morning", on the right it has fallen asleep in the same position but on a velvet cushion and the text underneath reads "evening".

I love this account. So well researched.

Everyone is posting introductions - I guess I should, too? I'm Molly and I post old cat photos with ALT text and links to sources/credit unless it's a found photo from my personal collection.

Not a bot. Not a scammer. Just a keeper of forgotten cats (and my perfect tiny friends, Fergus & Francie).
Photo of my two fluffy cats, Fergus and Francie. They are squished together in a cat bed. Fergus is a large brown tuxedo tabby gazing calmly at the camera with his forelegs wrapped around his sleeping petite white sister Francie. She is snoozing peacefully with her face pressed into his chest.

Women artists are everywhere in 2024 but let's face it, it's about damn time
It's a great year of exhibitions but museums need to double down and beef up their collections with the work of female artists

Lying Cat. 1920. www.artnet.com/artists/norb...
Watercolor painting of a shorthaired brown tabby cat half lying and half sitting in a chair upholstered in a pale green and pink floral fabric. The back half of the cat's body is flat on the seat cushion while its shoulders and head are propped up against the back, its long limbs all stretched out in a pile before it.The cat looks smug and sleepy.
