If there’s any one thing that could improve a Botticelli painting, what would it be? Well, a big furry cat, of course! Okay, so obviously we’re not serious, but that doesn’t make this series of cat-augemnted artworks, which we first heard about over at It’s Nice That, any less hilarious. Over at Great Artists’ Mews, Zarathustra the cat wants to get the record straight — Mona Lisa was only smiling like that because she had a fat tabby squirming in her arms. The site comes with this very cat-like disclaimer: “We are real. All the artworks at this site are real. Nobody’s opinion about Us, Our art or this site will ever disturb Our suprematism.” Fair enough. Click through to see some of our favorites, and if you’re not all kittied out, head over to Great Artists’ Mews for even more cat-infiltrated art.

Superb!
Pretty weak execution.
MEWOW!!
I love these. They made me laugh out loud. They are delightful.
Though I love the Birth of Venus, my favorite is Mona Lisa. Lots of fun.
aye, could be better but it’s for free so can’t really blame the author’s love for his/hers cat. :)
Hey, Frob – ever heard of sour grapes?
Absolutely loved this! Thanks for brightening up my Wednesday!
Please do Manet’s ‘Le déjeuner sur l’herbe’ :-)
Brilliant! Botticelli & Rembrandt my faves.Think puss had had enough by Van Dyck, tho’
Made me properly laugh out loud- the office know I’m the mad cat lady but this just confirmed it for them :D
Whoah, that’s one FAT cat! Hehe they were funny
The Reubens was very apt – how about Large Bathers, by Renoir? In other words, that cat seriously needs to lose some flab!
I think they look great but why all ginger cats (or the same cat )? Monet & Mona Lisa were the best
Why won’t you let me turn the mobile theme off? Why give an option that does nothing? Argh, WordPress!
But nice pictures, when I spoof a non-mobile browser.
so many tears of laughter…
this cat absolutely hates his life…
