In ancient Egypt, cats were sacred animals, with the goddess Bastet often depicted in cat form, sometimes taking on the war-like aspect of a lioness. The Romans are often credited with introducing the domestic cat from Egypt to Europe. Several ancient religions believed cats are exalted souls, companions or guides for humans, that are all-knowing but mute so they cannot influence decisions made by humans. In Japan, the maneki neko cat is a symbol of good fortune. Their hidden talents and capabilities are spoken of in the secret language of symbols and allegories. It is aimed at everyone who has a soft spot for our four-legged friends and is inclined to think of the cat as much more than just a "domestic animal."

It's a well-documented fact that St Petersburg's Hermitage in Russia, one of the most famous art museums in the world, is home to a huge collection of pieces of art and ... an army of cats! These professional felines have been guarding the Hermitage's treasures against rodent predators since 1745. Empress Elizaveta, daughter of Peter the Great, signed a decree ordering that cats were to be found and brought to her court in Moscow -- "better cats, the largest ones, able to catch mice, and accompanied by a person who will look after their health." According to the Hermitage, there are officially 50 cats residing in the museum today. Each cat has a 'passport' with its photograph. Those cats that retire and are rehomed receive a special Hermitage certificate, which gives them a certain distinction! The feline colony receives no official income, but the human employees contribute each month towards upkeep and health expenses. Many doors in the six Hermitage buildings have small cat doors in them, so the residents can come and go as they please between the gardens -- where in summer they are to found strolling or lounging among the priceless exhibits -- and the basement, where there are the cat headquarters. This is where food is prepared and their health is looked after, with a room devoted to looking after sick animals. This is the official bit from the museum's site ... But we here at Clever Fox Press never let a good story go to waste so we made a book about the clever felines guarding Hermitage art pieces. The first signed copy of The Cats of the Hermitage was presented to the museum in February 2018 as a gift from our charitable publishing house. Brrr ... Hope those wonderful guards of artistic treasures have good heating down in the basement during those famously cold Russian winters c treasures have good heating down in the basement during those famously cold Russian winters.

Lives of cats and men intertwined long ago. People worshiped cats like gods, full of superstition they were afraid of luminous eyes in the dark, asked for their help in protecting houses from rodents and adored them as their best friends, while painters and sculptors could not help admiring cat's grace which they considered perfect. The book gives a wide-ranging and detailed presentation of the "feline" exhibits in the Hermitage: Ancient Egyptian bronze, mediaeval European painting, Chinese and Japanese graphic art, Russian lubok prints of the 18th to 20th centuries, cats in the form of toys and much more. 285 colour illustrations

“It’s official. That thing that classic art has been missing is a chubby reclining kitty.” —The Huffington Post Internet meme meets classical art in Svetlana Petrova’s brilliant Fat Cat Art. Featuring her twenty-two-pound, ginger-colored cat Zarathustra superimposed onto some of the greatest artworks of all time, Petrova’s paintings are an Internet sensation. Now fans will have the ultimate full-color collection of her work, including several never-before-seen pieces, to savor for themselves or to give as a gift to fellow cat lovers. From competing with Venus’s sexy reclining pose (and almost knocking her off her chaise lounge in the process) in Titian’s Venus of Urbino, to exhibiting complete disdain as he skirts away from God’s pointing finger in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, Zarathustra single-handedly rewrites art history in the way that only an adorable fat cat can.
