The internet is an interesting space. A liminal world where anything you could dream of could be brought together. If you're a Star Wars fan, but want to see what the characters would look like with anime halations, you can find it. You want to read about someone's fan fiction about Harry Potter, but with a different ending, there's a place for that. And if you want to travel back in time, it might as well be a time machine. Who would have thought we would be able to touch the past (and the future) in such a tangible way?

If you're someone who loves cats, and also loves everything vintage, we have good news for you. Below, you'll find beautiful and old photos of vintage cats. Yes, it's black and white photos of cats with top hats, binoculars, and with a slew of celebrities you didn't know were cat lovers. Enjoy these aristocratic cuties below.

An iconic photograph of black cats lined up to audition for a horror film. The year is 1961, and these hopefully hoomans want nothing more than a celebrity in the home, in the form of their cute black cat. I wonder how they decide who gets the role.
