Re: Do you believe this is true???


Further to above (and I agree with all comments made), this is a link to the Homepage - hope you can open this one, Dandysmom -
http://www.whypaintcats.com/

I still have an inkling that the whole book is a big spoof. What if the author/artist took pictures of ordinary cats (if cats are EVER ordinary!) and then doctored the pictures? I do not know enough about clever computer techniques that can make anything look real. Just look at the way the fur is laying - could it look so normal if it had been dyed or painted? All the reactions provoked could still be real! Is that "sick" or "HaHaHa"???!!!

Evidently, it is a follow up to their previous book "Why Cats Paint" - featuring, you've guessed, pictures painted BY cats!

I'm just getting more confused thinking about it!

Re: Do you believe this is true???


Thanks for the link, Angie; yes this one was OK. I read many of the comments and still think this is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard of! Gilding the lily indeed; cats are beautiful as they are. Aesthetics are obviously in the eye of the beholder; to me, those poor cats look grotesque!!!

Totally ridiculous. They have ruined the natural beauty of the cat by this awful graffiti,
