Alternate title: “How Not to Hold Cats.”

nypl:

In honor of the first Caturday in May, here’s a lithograph by Edward Penfield that features two kitties. That should doubly satisfy your cat cravings! The lithograph was created sometime in the late 1800s or early 1900s, and currently sits in the Library’s Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Division of Art, Prints and Photographs (which just recently launched its own catalog; we highly recommend you browse). Happy Caturday!
