I feel like I've seen this before, is it from Life magazine by any chance?

This is adorable 😊

Good grief, it's a running gag.

Even though cats are lactose intolerant, it will never not be cute to see a cat get a mouthfull of cowmilk with the help of a farmer.

I watched my cousin pull this exact stunt, back when we were kids, only she or the cat didn't line up right, took the milk as a body shot, and the other dozen farm cats all milling about immediately fell to grooming them.

Big "You Been Farmin' Long?" Energy, but turn-of-the-century

Ah, another one. Now that I have recently seen several of these, I'm no longer sure if it was even one of them, I saw many years ago. It appears to have been a somewhat popular theme.

Love this. Grew up not far from Hardwick, although a little later than this picture

I think this is the third picture you've posted of a cat drinking this way! How many do you have?!

I don't know. I've been pulling them out because my Uncle Lyle just passed away, he ran the family dairy farm with my Aunt Susie. My aunt loves dairy related antiques so I am mailing several of them to her as a small gesture of love after losing her husband of 55 years.
