Sure, we\u2019ve seen a lot of cat art and I\u2019m guessing that most of us have art and crafts depicting cats displayed in our home. Who among Catscapades followers did not hang one or many ornaments, display decorations, or send Christmas cards with a cat on it? I even have a nativity scene featuring cats!<\/p>\n<p>But today, if you follow the links, you\u2019ll see cat art you\u2019ve probably never seen before and it will delight you. For example, you\u2019ve all seen the amazing designs some people can create on top of your latte. Here\u2019s a site displaying latte art shaped like cats. I mean, some of the cats even have form. I don\u2019t know about you, but I think if I was served one of these, I\u2019d find it hard to swallow. (They\u2019re just too cute!!!) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsaroundtheglobe.com\/latte-art-cats-coffee-top-10\">http:\/\/www.catsaroundtheglobe.com\/latte-art-cats-coffee-top-10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a site featuring famous paintings that you\u2019ve probably seen before.

Yes, Svetlana Petrova has reproduced several famous paintings to include her ginger cat, Zarathustra. No, she didn\u2019t put the cat in an inconspicuous corner of the painting. Zarathustra is front and center in Mona Lisa\u2019s arms, as a star in The Ballet Class (by Edgar Degas) and even impersonating Napoleon on horseback. Check it out, these are classic: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/famous-paintings-with-zarathustra-fat-cat-art-svetlana-petrova\/\">https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/famous-paintings-with-zarathustra-fat-cat-art-svetlana-petrova\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For those of you who appreciate great art, you might find it interesting to know that some of the world\u2019s famous artists, who are known for painting scenic pieces, portraits, etc., also painted their cats.
