“There was this whole industry in the late 1800s of making post cards with cats on them.  People don’t realize though that cameras had really bad shutter speeds at the time.  So those cats were dead.  They were stuffed and posed to look cute.  And then people bought them because they were cute, even though you could pretty easily deduce that these were pictures of dead cats.  And not even cats that had a full life–kittens specifically killed to be posed.”

UnLOLcat.
