Reactions to story from Lolcats ‘n’ Funny Pictures of Cats - I Can Has Cheezburger?
Oldest Ever Lolcat Found *gasp* (Iz From Teh 1905)
http://icanhascheezburger.com/ 2008/ 12/ 01/ funny-pic...What’s Delaying My Dinner? This captioned cat picture postcard was found by Tracy Angulo in a Seattle antique store. Tracy tells us that the photograph is from 1905, which would make this officially the oldest cat picture with a caption, AKA lolcat, that we’ve seen. The differences are clear. Proper grammar and a more formal tone was in vogue back then. But the similarities to modern-day kitten struggles and lolcats are amazing. ALL CAPS is still cool, but most importantly, she also no can has cheezburger. More than a hundred years later, all that’s changed is the spelling.

Purrty Picture
http://worldofwonder.net/archives/2008/Dec/01/purrty_picture...Found in a Seatlle antique store, this 1905 photograph may be the oldest example of lolcat in existence. Though the presumably female feline no can has cheezeburger, she is nevertheless hungry, per the caption and humiliated for nine lifetimes. (t/y Nick)

Oldest Ever Lolcat Found
http://40yrs.blogspot.com/2008/12/oldest-ever-lolcat-found.h...It's a picture postcard from 1905, and as the folks at Lolcat so ably note, "The differences are clear. Proper grammar and a more formal tone was in vogue back then. But the similarities to modern-day kitten struggles and lolcats are amazing. ALL CAPS is still cool, but most importantly, she also no can has cheezburger. More than a hundred years later, all that’s changed is the spelling."Of course in the days prior to high speed film, the aftermath was of dressing up a cat and putting it in a high chair can only be imagined.The blood stains are probably gone now.
