I posted some antique dog-themed wallpaper a while back. Here's a look at some French wallpaper, dating from around 1800, featuring two peaceful scenes: a bird on a fence, and a young woman preparing a meal while (you guessed it) a cat lifts a beseeching paw. You can see that better in the detail below:
The description over at Gallica reads:
Manufacture Chapillon. Papier à motif répétitif. Motif répétitif à deux chemins, en quinconce, alternant un oiseau perché sur une barrière et une femme qui donne à manger à son chat : [papier peint]
