Cats Imitating Art

When you think about cats, there are several things that instantly pop into your mind. Furry. Purring. Meowing when they want food or attention. Coming up for pets and then biting your hand when they’ve had enough. But you’ve probably never thought about their artistic sides.

What’s that, you didn’t realize cats were artistic? Neither did we, until we saw this article from BuzzFeed.com that showed us some excellent examples of cats imitating famous paintings. Take a look at some of our favorites…

 "Romeo And Juliet" by Ford Madox Brown (1870)

"Women In Blue Dress" by Richard Edward Miller (1909)

Water Droplet Animal Sculptures

I decided to take a break from sharing animal facts today in order to show you some amazing pictures I ran across; droplets of colored water that (abstractly) resemble animals!

Although it may look like these photos are altered, German artist and photographer Markus Reugels actually spent thousands of hours snapping shots of the water droplets to get just the right shapes. Some of them are easily recognizable and others not so much. However, they’re all pretty fascinating to look at!
