Cats in Art 3

Welcome to the final edition of our cats in art collection, were we find cool old cat art to share with you. If you haven’t seen them already, be sure to check out part 1 and part 2.

We’ve been moving on to art of some of the bigger cats and so far we’ve also posted a lion or two (or three). The artists & images we present to you come from all over the globe & span many cultures. It’s interesting to see how similarly (& tenderly) the cat is almost always portrayed.

Although we love the majesty of the big cats, there is just something about our beloved domestic kitty cat.
