With over 500 images, the Instagram project “All Vintage Cats,” which showcases stunning old cat pictures, has been accumulating followers. When Brazilian writer Paula Leite Moreira, the project’s founder, discovered an ancient photograph of a cat during the epidemic, she got the idea to search for more historical cat pictures. She draws pictures from social networking sites, image banks, and archives of old photographs.

Young Brazilian writer Paula Leite Moreira is the brainchild of “All Vintage Cats,” a project that distributes old photographs of cats on Instagram. She explained how she came up with the concept, how she chooses the photographs, and much more in an exclusive conversation with Bored Panda.

When questioned about how she thought of the initiative, Paula replies that it was by accident. I’ve always wanted to make digital material, but I couldn’t come up with anything truly creative, she said. “I came upon a picture of a cat during the start of the pandemic that was supposedly dated 1880. I started falling in love and looking for more old photographs. In light of this, I decided that all of that research could be released even if few people would read it.”

We questioned Paula about how she locates so many outstanding photographs because the account has more than 500 articles at this point. She admits that she visits websites for international periodicals as well as image banks and historical archives. She makes use of social media sites like Pinterest but constantly double-checks the data posted on other websites.
We inquired about the journalist’s ownership of any cats given her love of the feline species. “I had a kitty for 18 years, but I haven’t taken in any new cats since she passed away last year. Yet there’s no question that I have a will. To keep each other company, I would want to have at least a couple.” She gave some to the bored panda.

The journalist had a hard time choosing just one picture when asked which was her favorite on the account. “There are several, therefore I don’t have a favorite. Images of youngsters, well-known artists, and war situations frequently elicit stronger emotional responses. But, I like every single one of the pictures I uploaded to my profile.”

We questioned the page owner about whether she had anticipated the account would be so well-liked online as it keeps gaining popularity. Cats are often highly popular on the internet, but she said that she was unsure about how people would respond. “Not all cat lovers enjoy vintage images.
Given that the majority of the cats and humans depicted in their profiles are deceased, some even appear to have phobias. Also, I was unsure about my ability to maintain the account over the long term. Yet I will soon have finished three years with All Vintage Cats. This is extremely unexpected.”

In addition to learning more about Paula as the person behind the “allvintagecats” Instagram account, we also wanted to learn more about her as a person. I love the lovely things in life, like the beauty of nature in general, and cats, she said. “Yet I despise all human misery, including wars, societal injustices, and inequality. I hope the future is better. My mind is always considering development. Yet I am aware that this takes time.”
We questioned her about any other online activities as the interview came to a conclusion. She answered in jest, “Sure. LOL! I’d want to become a very wealthy influencer!”
