Historic Cat Photos on International Cat Day (17 photos)

Earlier this century, the International Fund for Animal Welfare declared August 8 to be International Cat Day, a day set aside to celebrate our feline friends, who apparently just can’t get enough attention. To honor this day, I’ve gathered a small collection of archival images of cats and kittens below. The fashions and technologies may change over time, but cats never go out of style.

Original caption from March 23, 1959: “Hep cat. A real live kitten on the keys, this music-loving feline lends vocal accompaniment to his mistress in Worcester Park, England. As Marion Holland 15, plays the piano ‘Money’ the cat joins in the singing.” (Bettmann / Getty)
