How to catch mice in a right way?

Hey, cats, look here, you prophet Zarathustra’s speaking!

Hey, humans, have you seen before animal paintings by Lombard school, Italy? Some of them depict cats and We were asked why Zarathustra, the time-traveling cat, was not seen in them
Today We reveal one of the Lombard school painting featuring Our precious self, teaching other cats how to catch mice in a right way:

Lombard School, Cats being instructed in the art of mouse catching by Zarathustra

Lombard School, Cats being instructed in the art of mouse-catching by Zarathustra, circa 1700

Recently one similar looking painting, but with the owl instead of Us (what a shame!), was sold at Sotheby’s to some lucky collector:

Lombard School, Cats being instructed in the art of mouse catching by an owl

Lombard School, Cats being instructed in the art of mouse-catching by an owl, private collection

Dear collector, do you want to become even luckier and get the true version of the painting? Don’t hesitate to contact Us!

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat

P.S. Guess what song is recorded in the cats’ notation?

Of course, “Love to Eat Them Mousies”!
