The story of Cats Photographs began on a winter night in New York in 1949, when a young marketing student and photographer Walter Chandoha spotted a stray kitten in the snow, tucked it into his coat, and brought it home. Unaware of the muse he was about to meet, Chandoha named his lens companion Loco and, inspired by Loco, began photographing kittens from a local shelter. Those images launched a remarkable twenty‑year career. Long before Instagram’s #catsofinstagram, Chandoha captured people’s attention. From advertisements and greeting cards to puzzles and cat‑food packaging, his photographs combine genuine tenderness for kittens with flawless technique. Chandoha’s striking lighting highlights each cat’s fur, defining the visual vocabulary of animal portraiture for generations and inspiring masters such as Andy Warhol, who drew cues from Chandoha’s illustrated cat books.
