Historical Paintings Made Better with Fat Cats

If you thought that some of the most historic and renowned pieces of art in existence were absolutely perfect then think again. They have been missing something all this time. Fat Cats.

These funny works of art are created by Russian artist Svetlana Petrova. Her work features her very own cat called Zarathustra. Getting him to always pose for the camera is a challenge sometimes, on occasions they have to wait months until he is willing to go along with the photo shoots.

Petrova is soon to exhibit her works, and says that her work will bring internet memes into a physical setting, and help people to realise that the internet and digital technology is helping to create new and exciting forms of art.
