Vintage Catskills postcard by the Kingston News Service depicting a family of cats with their car loaded with luggage, towing an RV, with laundry hanging on a clothes line.

Greetings from Catskill Mts., N.Y.

Given the Cats-kills name it is not surprising that there is a wide array of historical “cat” related postcards and marketing materials for the region. The cats often depicted tourists as they partook in various vacation activities or were dressed to the nines in high fashion. The cats could be found driving cars, flying planes, going hiking or riding in cat-pulled wagons.

In this particular vintage postcard, a family of cats can be found camping. The scene includes a car loaded with luggage, an RV with a child cat peeking out the window and laundry hanging on a clothesline. The Catskill Mountains can be seen in the background. The postcard was published by the Kingston News Service located at Kingston, New York. The postcard was never mailed.
