14 vintage shots that in the past everyone just adored cats (15 photos)

People have always loved cats.





When cameras appeared, purring friends often became subjects of filming. After all, cats were everywhere: they lived with people in their homes and shared a bed with them, they were the best friends of the children and, of course, they wandered the streets of cities, where they felt like owners. We found old photographs that prove that people at all times loved cats.
