Fat cat makes for fine art
Artist Svetlana Petrova doesn't have to pay models to pose for her, instead she uses her ginger tabby Zarathustra. She recreates some of the world's finest paintings by Botticelli, Dali, or Monet, featuring her fine feline as willing subject. It has to be seen to be believed!
