I love that 130 years ago, you could have pictures of cats who are like,

(Long suffering sigh) Fine, you may hold me like a little baby just this once, Mother!

I like that the cat is in much better focus than the person

The more I think about it the more remarkable this photo is. Think of the long exposure time. Was the cat stuffed?

Cat plus flash powder equals cat makes a face.

I wonder if the photographer got him to look by saying "Watch the birdie!" and the cat went "Where? Where?"
