Once, We, Zarathustra the Cat, visited Albrecht Dürer in his studio. The great master was painting his portrait, this one:
Albrecht Dürer, Self-portrait with the furball, 1500
We decided to be helpful as we, cats, use to be, and perched on the painter’s laps.
On Our noble way, We pushed down his palette, but this was a low price for Our generous help.
Actually, the painter started to look a bit melancholic and gazed into the future without confidence. You may notice it if you have a look at the commonly known version of the masterpiece at the wall of Alte Pinakothek, Munich

So we added Our best smug look to the painting. Now a spectator should understand: anyway, everything’s gonna be alright.

Trust Us, humans!
Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
