Evening with the Cat

Every woman dreams of the large ginger cat to escort her to the ball.
Famous French artist James Tissot chose Us as a model to embody this sweet fantasy in his masterpiece:

James Tissot, Evening with the Cat

The lady-model chose her dress to compliment Our magnificent furs.

If you look at the commonly known version of the masterpiece in Musée d’Orsay, Paris, you will understand immediately which version is true:

James Tissot, Evening, from Musée d'Orsay

Much better to spend an entertaining evening with a warm and soft ginger cat than a boring silver-haired human!

You would ask: why we don’t see the true version in the museum? 

At the time when the painting was created, women depended on men’s will, and it was hard for them to make a choice in their lives. It would be a scandal if a beautiful lady preferred a cat to a rich old man.

But the times changed, and the true version should come to the museum!

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
