Brünnhilde.
Photo by Adolph Edward Weidhaas, 1936.
Here's a link to the photo at the Library of Congress.

Long before the internet made costumed cats a viral sensation, this 1936 photo captured a feline Brünnhilde - complete with winged helmet and breastplate - posing as the iconic Valkyrie from Wagner’s Ring Cycle. It’s a whimsical slice of history that proves our love for putting cats in human roles is nothing new!
