Greetings feline art lovers! It’s your Cat Info Detective, Skye Blake, on the hunt today for everything I can find about art, artists and the cats they love…
Did you know the feline form is portrayed in every artistic medium imaginable!
Sculpture, drawings, paintings, embroidery, caricatures and cartoons… all among the many ways people admire us fabulous felines!
Some of the great art masters used us in their works.
In fact, as far back as we have records, people have memorialized and admired our kitty brethren.
Our playful, sad, and crazy moods are displayed for everyone to enjoy.
From cartoons to oil paintings, Egyptian statues to modern movies, our pawprints have left their mark!
Discover more about cats in art at “Paintings of Cats“.

Sources
Sources used on this website are either primary or secondary.
Primary sources are always preferable and have the most reliable information because they’re original and directly referenced.
Scientific abstracts and data are good examples of primary sources.
Secondary sources are weaker because they usually consist of opinions or articles that give no sources of their own.
However, sometimes they refer to primary sources.
When I use secondary sources, most are those with some authority, such as veterinarian or cat behaviorist books and articles.
