I mean, the photo is clearly a cat drinking milk from a saucer.

Details and alternative cat photos that are as old (which is "first" is unknown) https://workman.tumblr.com/post/120829319747/houghtonlib-hou...

"clearly" is such a stretch, this photo would be completely useless to someone who has never seen a cat before, they wouldn't learn to recognize it from such picture alone, the other photos you linked do look a lot better.
It's Bigfoot!
Now I'm wondering what was the first viral fake photo of big foot
