1. I iz the champion, my friendz. This photo from our 1940 World’s Fair Collection in our Manuscripts and Archives Division shows a modest feline surrounded by lots and lots of trophies at the Fair’s cat show. It’s unclear if the cat actually won the trophies, or if it just decided to plop itself down on the trophy table (very possible). Happy Caturday (sorry - we were on hiatus for two weeks. Let’s just call it a cat nap). Interested in Caturday? Check out all of our entries. Interested in the World’s Fair Collection? Download our acclaimed free Biblion app, and browse through photos, letters and more.
