A Horseless Carriage Powered By 33 Very Vintage Cat Pics Proving People Have Always Been Obsessed With Photographing Their Purrfect Pets

Before there were iPhones, before there were even digital cameras, we had good, old-fashioned film cameras. And even before that, we had giant rectangular contraptions that captured images with a giant flash that only serious photography purrfessionals had! But one thing that has stayed the same despite the evolution of technology is the fact that people love to take pictures of their cats. Even when you couldn't whip our your phone and snap a quick pic of your fabulous feline, people still went out of their way to photograph their purrfect pets.

We have some majestic-looking cats in this post (cats have always been beautiful, what can we say?), and even a few teeny tiny kittens for your viewing pleasure here. Don't forget some un-fur-gettable family portraits, as well as lots of people just showing their love for their cats. In 50 years, will people look back on our cat pictures and think the same things about us?
