This captioned cat picture postcard was found by Tracy Angulo in a Seattle antique store. Tracy tells us that the photograph is from 1905, which would make this officially the oldest cat picture with a caption, AKA lolcat, that we’ve seen.

The differences are clear. Proper grammar and a more formal tone was in vogue back then. But the similarities to modern-day kitten struggles and lolcats are amazing. ALL CAPS is still cool, but most importantly, she also no can has cheezburger. More than a hundred years later, all that’s changed is the spelling.

Evekitteh, we hope you got a good dinner.

Wow, animals were being dressed up since the way early 1900s? That's something.

is this for real? i guess this post card costs a lot. i didn't have any idea that lolcats even existed way back 1905. that's kinda weird and at the same time cool. i hope i could find something unique like this at an antiquity shop near me.
