All cats are beautiful
indeed, ACAB.
Not this one. Although, he has probably passed into the great beyond by now.
I don't know why, but there's something so wholesome seeing animals from old photos and films (at least 70 years ago). The same is with paintings and other animals related things from the past i.e. The gravestone of Dewey the cat
He looks so pleased with himself. Good for him.
updoot because cat
Unphotographed, cat gets to other side of the street and immediately wants to go back
Hurry up and let me in so I can go outside again!
Not all that many people could afford cameras back then, and they were rather large. Nice photo of a nice police officer doing a good deed for the kitties 👍
These days you're likely to get thrown to the ground and arrested for taking photos or video of the police.. ☹️
Off frame left: a lynching.
Don't be ridiculous, as you can see the cat is black.
