Fly away with the Cat

Do you know that cats, beings who walk by themselves, are able to free humans from their world problems? Genius painter Hieronymus Bosch pictured the rescue operation on the right panel of the true version of his famous Triptych of Temptations of St. Anthony:

We, cats, are able to take you away from every peril that tempts you in the modern world, given if the world looks like this:

Our crazy world is full of modern demons:

Coronaviruses, palaces, monsters,

legion in helmets, a guy in the horned hat, and even blue underpants! Nowadays demons are so skillful in disguising

You may compare modern demons an old ones investigating the commonly known version of the painting on the wall of Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon

But all demons efforts are in vain, the Cat on flying fish hurries to grab his human and ride her on the wind far away from forces of evil:

Okay, the fish and the human seem to be a little bit terrified by the flight’s speed and the cat’s determination.

But he who risks nothing gains no shrimps!

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
