"Vintage Cat Faces" On Tumblr Brings On The Nostalgic Spirit

Contrary to what the internet might have you believe, taking pictures of cats is not a new obsession.

Since the dawn of photography, people with cameras have been aiming them at their cats.

Tumblr page, Vintage cat faces, is taking us on a trip through the archives to find some cat photos from way back when, to show that a.) our collective love affair with cat pictures is an old one, and b.) the cats of the olden days were also very cute.
