Cats in Interiors
These cats are actually not doing anything that has to do with humans; this is very rare in the works of old masters (maybe cats had different tastes back then and liked to be portrayed with their human pets). Modern cat-loving painters more often depict us alone (like we usually are). The picture on the left is a cat training to hunt (or as humans crudely put it "playing"). The picture on the right is of a cat quite offended by a dog who is stubbornly standing under a possible future meal (at the very top).
