Cat Art History: Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder, July 22, 1898 - November 11, 1976, was an Modern, Abstract, and Surrealist artist, innovating with his three-dimensional kinetic sculptures powered by motors or air currents, and his monumental public sculptures.

The artist undoubtedly studied cats, sculpting them as whimsical and playful.

On May 26, 1897, Bram Stoker's book, "Dracula" was published.

I've watched many Dracula and vampire movies, but the book is better!

Here are some cat vampire memes for your viewing pleasure, all scrounged from the interwebs.

Snoozer

It's Sweetnesday!

That Sweetie; such a snoozer!

She takes over the warm spot when a human gets up.

She sleeps in the window, curled up like a shrimp.

Whoa!
She can give an evil look if you interrupt her nap!
