i should start this post by saying that artistic depictions of cats go back as far as the Egyptians who- bla bla bla, but the point is cats are cool so of course why wouldn’t they appear in art since forever? what i realised after looking around for rad art that featured felines is that there are a lot of nudes + cats. this Picasso being perhaps the most explicit. is it because people tend to strut around their house naked, while their cats look on? i know i always did when my cat was still alive. and then you’d stop and look at the cat, who was looking at you, and you’d think… is it judging me or does it just not care? (a bit of both)

My two favorite things in life: art and cats, so here’s some cats in art courtesy of @miss_moss http://t.co/zD0UTTq6hU
This reminds me of the cat art museum I visited in Amsterdam – opened by a cat lady/art lover and with plenty of live cats besides some great stuff like Lautrec.
