Ancient cat video

submitted by Buttle

3 years 2 months 1 week ago

Colorized silent cat film from 1906. Cats don't seem to have changed much since then.

At first, 1906 doesn't seem that far away, in my youth I knew people that remembered it firsthand. But, on second thought, these people, and their cat, are closer in time to the reign of Napoleon than they are to now.

The expression on that cat's face at the end is like "Who the hell are you people? Are you from the future? You are! Tell me, oh temporal traveler, how fares a century of unbroken peace and human cooperation and kindness. . . ?
Really?
Shit, thank Christ I die in 1913!"

read of a person that found film left in a camera in an attic of an old house. had the film processed. the majority of the pictures were of the family pets. more of the cats than the dog.

from Eygpt to early film to the 'net.

1913. that's pretty close to being historically factual. if that cat is 1, the avg lifespan was 8, filmed in '06...good job.

Fascinating.

Where is the stupid sound??
