35 Cat Pictures That Look Like Accidental Renaissance Paintings
Cats photograph like Renaissance subjects way too often for it to be a coincidence. I’m convinced they know what they’re doing. The dramatic poses and the way they position themselves like 17th-century Dutch merchants have gotta be intentional.
Owners thought they were photographing their cats sitting weird and instead accidentally captured something that belongs in an art museum. My wedding photos don’t even look this good.
