Happy Caturday! This cigarette card from our George Arents Collection shows a “blue Persian cat with kitten,” and was printed sometime between 1924 and 1933. We just thought it was a beautiful image … and the cats are adorable. The back of the card has all sorts of weird (and often outdated) facts about Persian cats, including that they should drink “beef tea” while nursing and should have meals of milk and water. Also, the card says they cost “five pounds” each - about $8 now.
