Any images available?

I think you'd first have to determine whether or not they are
capable of feeling admiration.


SEE LINK: BOOK -- 'Why Cats Paint"
http://www.amazon.com/Why-Cats-Paint.../0898156122/sr

I read that book quite a few years ago. Its a spoof.

Believe it or not; public libraries have a subject classification
"Animals as Artists" under Dewey Decimal call numbers 741, 750, 599
(no, these don't all include books about elephants that paint). Why
Cats Paint had the call number 750.

Have there been any university studies attempting to discern what arts
pique our pets interests?
