2. I love this!

Especially the very old black and white photos. This isn't something you normally see in old ancestral photos.
I do genealogy as a hobby, and I do have a lot of very old family photos, and I can't think of one that has a cat in it.

Thanks for posting these!

13. they had to sit for some time for those pics

I don't think most cats could tolerate that

16. You know what else just hit me?

As you said, they had to sit still for some time for those old photos. And because of that, in most of those old photos, people are never smiling. They would hold a very serious pose until the photographer said it was okay to move.

But as I was looking through these photos a second time, I noticed that in the old photos, most of the people are smiling. Some have just a slight smile, but others have a flat-out grin. It just goes to show you that you cannot be in a bad mood around a cat! You can't even fake a serious pose when you're around one.

( Unless the cat just brought you some bloody, dead 'present' that they want to gift to you.)

3. Who are they all???

Obviously I know who some are...but I'm intrigued about the others.

4. I don't have a list

I think some of them are just antique photos of random people although most are famous.

You can copy the link to the picture then go to google images and click on the little camera icon to the right of the search bar. Enter the URL of the copied link and it will provide references to the photo.

12. I use Chrome. Right click an image and ask for Google search for image. Voila. Some

may not work.

15. My mom has a polydactal tabby...

I convinced her to call him Hemmingway. I'm not sure if he does any writing, cats can be so secretive.

20. Marlon Brando was a huge cat lover. I loved the story about him and the stray cat during filming

of "The Godfather." The cat he was stroking on his lap during the scene in his office where he was dispensing favors wandered on set and Brando took him under his wing, and insisted on including him in the scene.
