Feline arty!

While some of us spend more of our time online looking at cute cats than we would care to admit, few will have discovered the world of Fat Cat Art.

A bizarre but strangely wonderful concept of classic paintings and fine art work 'improved' by a fat ginger cat, Fat Cat Art is rapidly growing its online fan base. 

The pieces are the work of Russian artist Svetlana Petrova who features her own cat Zarathustra in every picture. 

From the Venus by Sandro Botticelli getting a feline makeover, to the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile suddenly being explained by the presence of a cat on her lap, these furry reinterpretations of some of the most well known art in history have captured the imagination of thousands.
