A recent study states that cats are among the three most spread and shared pictures on the internet along with pictures of babies and food. But, where did this obsession of taking pictures of cats begin?

Meet Harry Pointer, a British photographer that lived in the 1800's who made cats famous long before the internet. It all started when he photographed cats as they were going about their day. Then it occurred to him that he could do more, so much more. The cats he photographed afterwards in different funny poses that mirrored human activities became the ancestors of the modern lolcats.
