These Historical Photos Will Make You Wish You Could Turn Back Time

Cop Stopping Traffic for a Momma Cat

This photo from 1925 shows a New York City cop stopping traffic for a momma cat who was attempting to cross the street with her kitten while bystanders look on. The cop in the photo had a big smile on his face because he was used to stopping traffic to help human pedestrians cross the street, but this was the first time he was helping a member of the feline community. Ironically, photographer Harry Warnecke missed the moment this actually happened, so the cop and the cat recreated the entire scene just for him.
