A note about The Cuddlywumps Chronicles

This blog is written and maintained by Miss Cuddlywumps, a fluffy-tailed calico cat who is both classically educated and familiar with mysteries. She receives creative input from the Real Cats and clerical assistance from She of Little Talent (old SoLT, a.k.a. Roby Sweet). Comments or complaints should be addressed to Miss C rather than to old SoLt (Ms. Sweet). Ms. Sweet accepts no responsibility for Miss C's opinions.

A Man and His Cat, Nineteenth-Century Style

Wordless Wednesday

It seems that even in the nineteenth century,
people liked to include their pets in their portraits,
as seen in this daguerreotype of an unidentified
man with a cat, c. 1840–1860.
Of course we’re not sure this cat actually belonged
to this man, but it would be odd for the man to
pose with someone else’s cat.
