A boy's best friend is his kitten. There's no date on this but it is an ambrotype - they were most popular in the mid 1850 - 1860s. www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/...
Black and white photo of a young white boy in a fancy coat, white shirt, light trousers or breeches, and a dark neckerchief sort of thing affixed with a brooch. He looks seriously at the camera, with his right arm wrapped affectionately around a shorthaired tuxedo kitten that sits up proudly on a book on top of a small table beside him. the boys cheeks are lightly colorized pink.

From Thurston Hopkins' Cats of London series, 1951. themindcircle.com/cats-london-...
Black and white photo of a black and white shorthaired cat walking along ropes to reach a large ship. The photo is slightly slim and vertically oriented so you really get a sense of just how massive and long these ropes are, how huge the ship, and how small but fearless the cat is.

Trapped on the couch by this situation (not complaining).
My cats, Fergus and Francie, in a yin yang sort of snuggling position, nuzzled into each other’s shoulders. Fergus is a large brown tuxedo tabby and Francie is a petite white cat, both fluffy medium haired.

This is Ziggy, who four years ago this month moved from the Chittenden Humane Society to our towel shelf.
An orange cat lounges on a bath towel, eyes closed, paws and toe beans outstretched.

A cat being lowered in a basket. 1933. People used to do this to let cats outside from apartment buildings - maybe some people still do? I hope not. It's very cute but doesn't seem safe. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/cat-being-lowered-in-a-basket-news-photo/3070479
Black and white photo of a shorthaired tabby cat looking up from a basket which is being lowered from a second or third story window. The photo's point of view is from the window, looking down at the cat.

This cat knew exactly how far it needed to sit. Negative from my collection, no additional info.
Black and white photo of a light skinned toddler with curly hair, reaching as far as she can over a white tiled counter toward a shorthaired tabby cat. The cat has an alarmed look, safe but clearly aware of the little hand grasping for it.

A boy's best friend is his cat. 1793. https://gallerix.org/album/Versailles/pic/glrx-172225600
Oil painting of a young white boy with blue eyes and brown hair and wearing a dark, vivid red coat, smiling happily with his arm around a longhaired grey and white cat that sits beside him on a small fancy table. The boy is also gently holding one of the cat's forepaws, as if they are holding hands.

A lot of people are showing me their black cats with a few white hairs today, so I have to show you how Francie has the opposite- sprinkle of black hairs on her right temple.
Color photo of my gorgeous white cat Francie sitting in the morning light, looking up like a renaissance cherub. Macro shot of a teeny smattering of black hairs amidst hundreds of white ones.

Cat at Front Street Playground. Ca. 1922. https://catalogplus.libraryweb.org/responsive?section=resource&resourceid=1116837221&currentIndex=4&view=fullDetailsDetailsTab
Black and white photo of an adolescent boy with a light brown Mediterranean complexion, dark hair, and very serious expression on his face, looking straight at the camera while proudly cradling a shorthaired white and ginger tabby cat in his arms. Other boys, all of them wearing the same school uniform with light shirt and dark pants, gather in the background of the photo.

"The caretaker's cat" 1947. https://artisticafineart.com/products/the-caratakers-cat-1947-by-willy-ronis
Black and white photo of a young white boy with brown hair facing 3/4 away from the camera. All of his adoring attention is focused on a shorthaired tabby cat (I'm guessing it is ginger) that sits up beside him. The boy and cat are facing each other and the boy has one hand on each shoulder, not sure if he's petting or preparing to pick the cat up.

All in all you're just a
kittens' milk bottle wall. 1946. https://www.vintag.es/2012/09/life-through-kurt-huttons-cameras-lens.html
Black and white photo of a perfectly lined up row of full glass milk bottles, every one placed precisely next to its neighbor except one which has been tipped over by an adorable medium haired tabby kitten which is breaking through the bottle wall. In the distance there is a fuzzy black kitten butt.

Sun-roasted potatoes. 🥔
My two fluffy cats snuggled together in a leopard print window bed in the sun. Francie, a petite white cat, is snuggled up against Fergus, a large brown tuxedo tabby. Fergus is fairly sprawled and Francie is propped against him like he’s a comfy beanbag chair.
