grazhina Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I saw these old photos of kitties dressed in costumes the other day and immediately thought of all you kitty loving dollhouse builders. This is a sample picture. More can be found here. I'm a big fan of the Vintage Everyday site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapchap73 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 That's adorable. Not sure how my diva would react to being dressed up...she did NOT like the harness I made her wear to the vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnmini Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 When I was a child we had two Ideal books...I think they may have been published by a women's magazine and put out as a special edition with each season. Anyway, I simply loves these books! My favorite was the Spring issue that featured a story with these photos....kittens coloring Easter eggs and such. My one Aunt used to laugh and talk about how my cousins and I would dress up the poor barn cats in doll clothes! This was obviously where I got the inspiration! Thanks for the link - and the walk down memory lane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sneaking suspicion that taxidermy might have been involved, considering how long a pose had to be held back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief, Holly! What are you thinking? The photographer lived until 1953. I can't imagine anyone would mount that many dead kittens for a photo display! As a child, we had a cat that was perfectly happy to have us dress her in whatever doll's clothing would fit. Kittens would be much more amenable to posing than grown cats.

havanaholly Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Oops, I was thinking of the Victorian-era photos. 20th Century cameras could have done with live kittens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
