FatCat and The Met Guards

 When I was recently viewing art masterpieces, I simply HAD to tell the security guards that these were NOT the true versions!

I pulled up FatCatArt.com on my phone, and displayed Madame X, and The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit that included Zarathustra, the orange cat!

My sister witnessed the whole thing; am not making this up.

Yes, I will talk to anyone, especially when in the middle of some of my favorite things: art and cats.

The slideshow above displays how these pieces of art look now, and how they looked in their true form.

Am beyond thankful to Sveta Petrova at FatCatArt for bringing this information to the public.

Gorgeous Stuff

 A very brief image slideshow of some of my very favorite sights in New York.

This trip was a visit with my family, and to attend the John Singer Sargent "Sargent and Paris" exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

We walked, we talked, we ate, we sweated, we road the subway, we walked the HighLine, we were on the water, we were in the park, we shopped, we laughed, we grumbled (a little), and WE HAD FUN!

And the only thing that I brought back with me besides photos?

Cats at The Museum

May 18 is International Museum Day, and this year the objective is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” 

Have snapped photos of cats at art and natural history museums in my travels; here are a few:

The Graham Children, 1742

See the wee kitten watching the bird in the upper right?

Museum of Modern Art, New York
Tiger Rug, made of Maneki Neko cat images
The Lucky Cat MEWseum, Cincinnati, Ohio

Visit a museum; you'll learn something, I guarantee it.
