Women and their cats: a collection of paintings

My recent post about a cat whose fur betrayed the crimes of her owner opened me up to a whole new world: old paintings of women with cats.

There are so many! I love them all! If I lived on my own I would immediately get prints and create a gallery wall, but I do not, so instead I will be satisfied to share them with you on the internet.
