Vintage Valentine Cat Die-Cut Card, Victorian Era Love Greeting

With those blue eyes locked onto you in unblinking focus, this fluffy brown tabby kitten clearly has demands and will not be taking questions. Sporting a pink ribbon tied around its neck like it's being gifted to someone against its will, the cat clutches a red heart in its mouth inscribed 'Kitty wants you to be mine, Say you will, Sweet Valentine'—which reads less as romantic plea and more as a hostage negotiation conducted through chromolithography. The die-cut shape of the card itself, molded to the cat's form, suggests the Victorian era believed nothing said 'I love you' quite like receiving a die-cut kitten holding its own heart in its teeth.
