Images of #cats have never been out of fashion.

To be fair, this image is not FROM Bergen, but I found it while browsing and couldn't not post it. No specifics on neither girl nor cat, but likely mid 1900s.

"Spuds" as he came to be known. A mellow cat beyond belief. He started life on the streets, but was utterly inept at taking care of himself. He almost lost an eye, a leg, his tail. He did end up with a smashed jaw and a snaggle-tooth.

After taking him in for emergency care the *third* week in a row (for a "cat-engine interface" event, as the coworker who called us described it), we just adopted him.

No regrets.

For the record, this was my brother's idea

Diablo and Spuds were inseparable buddies (both gone now). Where one slept, the other was soon to follow. Even if there really was no room for either one of them.

Photo from my collection - the seller said it was from 1964 but I don’t know where they got that date. Anyway, it has not been filtered or modified by me, whether by accident or on purpose it was overexposed to wonderful effect. #CatsOfYore #Cat #Cats #History #catsodon #catsofmastodon #catcontent #ilovecats #vintage
