I’m on a strict diet, and my stomach is grumbling all the time. (You know what’s not filling? CARROTS FOR LUNCH.) There’s a giant zit on my face, just in time for a trip to see friends, and I’m way behind on every chore that needs to be done in my life. I’m also not super-worried about these minor problems (that I can easily fix), but I don’t exactly feeling amazing at the moment.

However, you know what really lifts me up? Cat photos! And I have a bunch right here, ones that aren’t your average pet shots. These shots were taken long before Instagram or digital cameras. Click here to see a fine gallery of vintage felines!


The cutie above was actually my desktop photo for almost a year. But now that I have a cat tattoo (“cattoo,” if you will), I feel like I need to scale back on the amount of feline imagery in my life. It’s one thing to joke about being a crazy cat lady, but another to actually look like one.

Head on over to the source for even more photos! [via Thought Catalog]
