It was one of the most weird experience of Our sitting for the great artists. One day at 1834, in the city of Brugge, the great master Jan van Eyck invited Us to be his Mews. We should sit for him. We found Ourselves in the company of the strangly familiar stranger:8oaw4knwpirjyr3orcyasfo6st08wo9u

This man was very fond of expensive clothes. He put a golden chain on our neck and a fur decorated mantle on our back. The green color of the cloths harmonized perfectly with Our natural coat, this fact diverted Us from the sad thinking about Continue reading →3ic5z4n92uho8dsvf83x5cmf3klcqeaj

They say that cats are not not glamorous beings, and fashion addicted young ladies prefer handbag dogs and other accessory beings as ermines. But this is not true! Look at the original version of the portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, who was the most glamorous lady of that time:8fs48yf7xc0yxmrddw2o94s58qs4qtqo

At that day, after sumptuous dinner at the Duke Sforza palace, We meditated on luxury fasion and ermine mantles… Having noticed our glamourous mood, some ignoramus, who thought that the elegance of being depends on the price of its coat, painted an ermine over the Cat. But We and Our beloved sister Fee from Germany know that the true elegance is harmony and noble manners, and thecats are themostelegant beings on Earthma6ncfwuyeusdhzfwf0zd33i0zc6kmfw

Mona Lisa’s smile is a mystery no more.76t3xv6mstvpfwp0d7kdmii14qdu7sy4

She smiled beacause We were there. Let you have on your knees 10 kilos of the immeasurable grandeur and have no smile.
Afterwards Leonardo reluctantly painted out Our image. He was  afraid of the reaction of the art criticists and gallerists who were normally treating the pictures with cats as not serious.
But the smile of Mona Lisa remained on the painting.
