Postcards from NYC: Cats in Art

HOME!

Spent my time in New York City last week; a life to-do activity that was everything I'd wished for and more.

My sister and I visited museums daily, then walked 'round town and Central Park to immerse ourselves in everything that is New York.

With the help of our nephew and his sweetie, we added more events to our agenda, and arrived back at our homes Saturday night with our minds full of fascinating sights, our legs and feet tired, and our hearts full.

Of the eight museums visited, below are images that included cats, controversial or not:
