By digging through historical archives, vintage magazines, and old family albums, Paula has built a collection that celebrates cats throughout history. From cozy moments at home to unusual portraits and famous cat lovers, her page is full of fascinating glimpses into the past that show one thing hasn't changed much over the years – our love for cats.

I know it doesn't work out for every family and every situation, but growing up with a pet is, in my humble experience, an absolutely magical, wonderful thing :)
I especially love seeing photos like this, because it shows that it's not just "modern people" who dress up their pets in clothes/costumes XD There are occasionally commenters on here who froth at the mouth about the cruelty of it and how the humans who do it are just selfish a-holes. Well, it's nothing new XD

I have 6 cats and love every single one of them, but sometimes seeing photos like this makes me want to add to my horde XD
