Journalist Collects Vintage Photos Of Cats Posing Together With Famous And Interesting Personalities Of The Past (40 New Pics)

Paula created the "All Vintage Cats" Instagram page in 2020, after having seen a photo from the 19th century on the internet. As she told us earlier, she found herself interested in looking for more old records of cats, so she decided to share her discoveries with other people as well.

To find all these images, Paula searches through the internet in historical collections, archives, image banks and international magazines.

Bored Panda got in touch with the journalist again to get to know more about her and this project. We asked Paula how her journey as a journalist started. She answered that it began when she graduated in journalism some years ago, after trying other courses like modern languages and audiovisual communications. "Since I was a kid, I have liked humanities, but the process of choosing only one degree was a little confusing for me."

Nowadays, besides "All Vintage Cats", Paula works creating content for social media.

Paula has always loved cats and history, not exactly vintage photography. The journalist shared with us that she created this account because she's a true "crazy cat lady" who caught herself searching for information about some old cat photos on the web. "Why not share it with other cat lovers?"

Looking at all these incredible photos that have now accumulated to more than 450 on Instagram, we got curious about what makes Paula continue searching for more of these pearls. She shared that she thinks the "magic" of this content is noticing that cats have been beloved and spoiled companions since much before the internet. "Definitely, it's not a recent relationship, and vintage photos are proof of it. As a cat lover, it's nice to identify myself with people of completely different ages."
