The post Chubby Orange Cat Finds Its Way Into Famous Paintings appeared first on TheWanderWit.
]]>Created by artist Svetlana Petrova, the works from the FatCatArt project depict Zarathustra peaking behind the flower vase in Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers,” resting in the arms of a man in El Greco’s “The Nobleman”, or being melted from too much snoozing in Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory”.
Zarathustra’s invasions of famous paintings have delighted social media users, who love the cat’s chubby look and how he always manages to be the star of any artwork he finds himself in. The FatCatArt has a dedicated and ever-growing audience on Instagram, amassing more than 281K followers there.
According to Petrova, she stumbled on the idea to make Zarathustra the star of iconic works of art from the past by accident. Looking for inspiration, she turned to Zarathustra and decided to make a still-life painting with him as the main subject. In order to get a rough idea of what that would look like, she snapped a few photos of the cat and photoshopped him into some classical paintings she found online.
Petrova was quite amused by the results and decided to share some of those works with friends. They thought it was hilarious, and the FatCatArt was born. Now, Zarathustra is present in more than 250 famous paintings, and we hope that the number will keep on getting bigger because we can’t get enough of the orange cat’s antics.

]]>Artist Matt McCarthy is creating surreal photomanipulations in which he imagines cats as giants inhabiting our world. They are still adorable but seem like they could cause humans a lot of inconvenience.
McCarthy shows his giant cats blocking busy streets, taking over crowded beaches, and climbing tall buildings that they could destroy with just one move of their paw.
According to McCarthy, he got the idea for this unique project while observing his own cat playing with a bug.
“The idea initially came to me as I was observing my own cats when they were playing with a bug that entered our house,” McCarthy shared in a chat with Bored Panda. “I wondered how they would react if my wife and I were that small. They’re so sweet and cuddly that we tend to forget they’re apex predators.”
McCarthy’s works have found quite a lot of fans on the internet. His Instagram page has close to 130K followers, while his photomanipualtions can be found on all sorts of products, from calendars to T-shirts.
