This is actually a gifty Thursday. A friend of mine has given me two old children's books that are about cats. One is from 1915, and is a cut-out book shaped like a tabby cat.
The inside has some pages with two colors and others with full color, like this one.
This book is pretty special. It's from 1886! Please excuse some of the photos. I did not want to fully press down the book's spine because of its age.
The cover has some amazing cat drawings.
The back cover has some great illustrations also. I adore the kitties in the sea shells.
Inside are several different stories and a number of amazing illustrations.
It's neat to think about this old book and where it may have been all of these years.

I recognize the mama cat with kittens on the globe image! What a terrific set of books!
Those are nice books.
Love it - but then, I am a sucker for a good picture book with cats.
That is just precious! Lucky you, what a nice friend you have. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow, these are really special! Vintage books are so cool - it's like they have memories imbedded in them.
I love old books and have a collection, but cats rarely appear in them, I am sorry to say. I love the ones you shared today!
what a lovely gift
These are some pretty awesome books. They are still in such a great shape for the age. That was a nice gift to receive. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a great day.

Now those are pure treasures! I would love to add those to my cat book collection.
Wow! These books are very special! I had a lot of children's books when I taught middle school but gave them away to a new teacher when I retired from teaching. I sometimes wished I'd kept them,but I don't have the room.
I'm sure they've served as cat beds for many esteemed kitties.
Those books are so pawsome and they found a good home with you.
