Well, I was going to hold off on making any comment after “Zoot Suit Wolf,” but since you raised the issue!

In the top first picture I can see what might be a cat, but to me it looks more like a bear, two eyes, nose, ears….There is something that looks like a female moose (no antlers)standing on its right cheek, head up. The Bears right paw is holding a Greek God (head at about 45 degrees, curly hair) one arm back one arm out in front. Something has happened to the Bear’s right paw, which is just a stump…However! There is an ocean sloshing over the top of his left leg! A tiny tall ship appears about to sail over the waves on the top of leg. In between his legs is either a skinny coyote, or an asparagus headed tree man.

Leonardo DaVince writes:

“Look at walls splashed with a number of stains, or stones of various mixed colours. If you have to invent some scene, you can see there resemblances to a number of landscapes, adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, great plains, valleys and hills, in various ways. Also you can see various battles, and lively postures of strange figures, expressions on faces, costumes and an infinite number of things, which you can reduce to good integrated form. This happens on such walls and varicoloured stones, (which act) like the sound of bells, in whose peeling you can find every name and word that you can imagine.

Do not despise my opinion, when I remind you that it should not hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or the ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places, in which, if you consider them well, you may find really marvelous ideas. The mind of the painter is stimulated to new discoveries, the composition of battles of animals and men, various compositions of landscapes and monstrous things, such as devils and similar things, which may bring you honor, because by indistinct things the mind is stimulated to new inventions.”

(Psalm 19 is appropriate here....!)

OK, no one found the cats. In the explanation at the link you can see text that is blue indicating it is a hot link. The people at NASA sometimes insert links in the explanation that are not what you would expect; scientist humor. This one is at the link referring to the oxygen, hydrogen and sulfur displayed in “three colors”.
