When the White Star liner RMS Celtic wrecked in 1928, the ship was evacuated, but the cat, Emily, refused to leave. She and her kittens stayed onboard for a few days, being fed on "fish, cream, and condensed milk" until they could be taken ashore. Emily's plight managed to make the New York Times.

I just made a video on a historic cat if you're interested:

AMSTERDAM: A picture of the winner of the Cat Club cup for long-haired and semi-long-haired cats. This cat got to go home with the cup this year. The source.

The post is inspired by the great @catsofyore blog. Follow them for old, historical cat images.

I love this photo. I love the cat’s position and expression, I love the textures, I love the ethereal light leaks. From my collection, no info known.

The full story.

I have never had a cat, but I think they are endlessly fascinating. And there’s no better feeling in the world than when a cat chooses you.
