Vintage MEOW-lentines

We scoured the internet to bring you the cutest, sweetest, and weirdest vintage cat Valentines. We also learned a few things along the way, like: 

You have to have a HIGH tolerance for puns when Valentine’s Day rolls around

Like, a really REALLY high tolerance!

A musical serenade is one way to win over your Valentine…

A bit of sweet talk helps, too

But sometimes you have to wonder WHAT the sender was thinking when they chose that card…

SCARY CARTOON VALENTINE CAT

Seriously, YIKES!
