55 Old Photos Of Cats Posing Together With Famous And Interesting Personalities Of The Past As Collected By This Journalist (New Pics)

Images and videos of cats are some of the most searched and viewed content on the internet. People are just simply mad about them. And what’s not to go crazy for here? Their cute little faces, tiny paws, and fluffy fur are like a remedy for many web users. However, you might be surprised that this “psychosis” didn’t start with the invention of the internet. Cats were already the stars of many photographs way before 1983 and we have proof of that!

The Brazilian journalist Paula Leite Moreira created a purrfect Instagram account called “All Vintage Cats” where she uploads photos from the previous century featuring cats posing together with many famous and interesting personalities of the past. Even around celebrities, cats have always been the ones getting most (if not all) of the attention.

Paula created the “All Vintage Cats” Instagram page in 2020, after having seen a photo from the 19th century on the internet. As she told us earlier, she found herself interested in looking for more old records of cats, so she decided to share her discoveries with other people as well.

To find all these images, Paula searches through the internet in historical collections, archives, image banks and international magazines.

Bored Panda got in touch with the journalist again to get to know more about her and this project. We asked Paula how her journey as a journalist started. She answered that it began when she graduated in journalism some years ago, after trying other courses like modern languages and audiovisual communications. “Since I was a kid, I have liked humanities, but the process of choosing only one degree was a little confusing for me.”

Nowadays, besides “All Vintage Cats”, Paula works creating content for social media.

Looking at all these incredible photos that have now accumulated to more than 450 on Instagram, we got curious about what makes Paula continue searching for more of these pearls. She shared that she thinks the “magic” of this content is noticing that cats have been beloved and spoiled companions since much before the internet. “Definitely, it’s not a recent relationship, and vintage photos are proof of it. As a cat lover, it’s nice to identify myself with people of completely different ages.”
