Before the Internet, his cat photos ruled the world

Walter Chandoha wrote the book on cat photography.
A whole bunch of them, actually.

His work also defined the genre in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, long before your Facebook feed could be filled with fuzzy felines.

hanging in my bedroom when I was a little girl.

I can't be 100% sure because the human memory is a flawed device, but boy did seeing that bring back a jolt of a memory of my bedroom when my family lived in Huntsville, AL (fifth - eighth grade).

Fosters so their future adopters could see their kittenhood. A Japanese photographer who supplied Japanese pet food companies with photos for calendars and such once came to my home to take advantage of my kitten inventory. Was he good! The photos were ADORABLE!
