Discover 100 Purrfect Works of Art from throughout History—According to Cats

Cats are sly, mischievous, cheeky, and rebellious; they are hunters, clowns, and adorable sleepyheads. From Ancient Roman mosaics and Japanese woodblock prints to medieval miniatures and Impressionist oil paintings, this collection presents more than one hundred of the most bewitching cats in the history of art, paired with aphorisms and quotes from famous writers, poets, philosophers, and artists. Marvel at the works of Peter Paul Rubens, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Cecila Beaux alongside the words of Colette, Paul Gauguin, and Ernest Hemingway, all of whom found muses in their feline friends.
