Antique book cover. It is a mottled olive brown color that makes the bright white kitten and bright orange title letters really pop. The kitten is medium haired and pure white, with muted green eyes and a bright green bow around its neck. Text reading "The White Kitten Book" appear across the top and upper right in pleasantly thick and rounded orange letters. The bottom right bears the signature of Cecil L Aldin.

🤍 The White Kitten Book, written and illustrated by Cecil Aldin. 1909.

Black and white photo of a shorthaired pretty little white cat standing on a lawn in front of a white clapboard building. It’s looks like it might be meowing as the mouth seems open. Its tail is up and it has a happy, relaxed air about it.

Little ghost! 👻 Photo from my collection, 1964.

Are you a little shy? :3

A skull and neck partially embedded in the ground. Where the eye socket is, there is a large, black ball.

As we head into 2025, I'll be sharing 25 MEDICAL HISTORY OBJECTS starting with...

#1) 5,000-year-old prosthetic eye made of bitumen paste with lines radiating out from iris. Worn by a 6’ tall woman (possibly a priestess), found near the city of Zabol in Iran. The eye would have been painted gold.

Little Ghoul

Christmas stupor. Photo from my collection, 1956.

Have a dank ass Christmas 🎄

photo of my large brown tuxedo tabby Fergus, radiant in the glow of white Christmas lights. Behind are more lights, blurry red ones on the tree.

Today was written down as Fergus' birthday in his shelter paperwork, and even though I think it was an approximate guess that someone made up at some point we still celebrate it in addition to his adoption anniversary because why wouldn't we? He's my sweetest, calmest, gentlest giant babyman. 💕

I love her little concentrating-really-hard face when she’s standing up and looking at a treat

hello new followers look at my very small cat with very large hands

A handsome tabby cat, Joe, sitting in his human’s lap like a toddler. His left forearm is raised above his head, as if he’s taking a photo of himself, and his gaze is similar to that of people who don’t often take selfies. #CatsOfBlueSky

Hi, do you want to be friends? 🥹

Black and white photo of a white man in a dark uniform with cap and heavy leather gloves. He has climbed up a ladder against a brick wall, and is gently extracting a shorthaired tuxedo tabby kitten from a gap between a few bricks. The cat looks highly displeased.

“Here A.S.P.C.A. men have to chisel out a couple of bricks to save a kitten.” From the book Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats Cats by John R. Gilbert, 1961.

It's that time of year where I post this one
