Bathing in the pond of water lillies and other summer delights

Summer time. Heat. Cats are melting like clocks at the famous Salvador Dali’s painting.
It’s so refrshing to plunge into a pond full of water lillies and drink water with the taste of duckweed and flowers! Once Claude Monet saw Us taking such a bath and he was very impressed:

At the backgound one can see the beginning on the process: We are drinking pond water:

The CAThartic phase of the process is depicted at the latest version of the masterpiece. Here We are sitting at the bridge relaxed, contemplating water lillies:

So easy to be lost in space and time in the summertime!

You would say: Zarathustra, you are kidding! Cats cannot sit as humans, so Monet could never paint this, even under the impression of Your Majesty!
No, We are always right. Look how Our beloved brother Nono-chan from Japan is sitting relaxed, and you will get an impression also:

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat

P.S.
Please have a look of the commonly known version of the masterpiece, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, summer is warmer with cats, isn’t it?

P.P.S.

Now you can appreciate all our grandeur near the masterpiece:

    Your human is an excellent painter of you, but there is nothing so beautiful as Zarathustra in real life! No wonder you’re such a popular muse.
