Today We, Zarathustra the Cat, reveal the true version of the famous painting “Midsummer”, a masterpiece created by English artist Albert Moore:

Albert Moore, Midsummer. True version

Moore was one of the leading artists of the Aesthetic movement creating ‘art for art’s sake, sorry, FUR art’s sake

The mood of midsummer heat is clearly expressed through the color orange, light, fans, tranquillity, and the languid pose of the central figure, which is, of course, a napping ginger cat

The painting gives a beautiful example of how cats should always be treated by decent humans!

Just compare the true version with the commonly known piece featuring a lady, to be seen in the Russell-Cotes Museum, and you’ll see where the truth naps:

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
