Cats of Yore

Hi! I'm Molly. I love feline art, photography, and history. Owner of two amazing FIV+ cats! Header by W. Eugene Smith. Profile pic is a postcard from 1908. Not a bot. Not selling anything. Just a keeper of forgotten cats.

This is one of my favorite sets in my collection. Somewhere out there in the 1960s, a kitten and bird were pals. 💕

A favorite from my collection - this luminous little one from the 1960s. Thank you so much for all the donations to our local shelter animals yesterday, everyone. You lifted my spirits at a time when I really needed it. 💕 If you missed it, I'm running a fundraiser for our local animal shelter for my birthday this month! https://givebutter.com/mollys-birthday-for-shelter-kitties-yrubxt

Sometimes I'll put in an absurdly low bid on an eBay auction with the knowledge that I'll definitely get outbid 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! No date/info.
