You've heard of Picasso - but what about Purr-casso?

Check out these images from Burton Silver's book Why Paint Cats.

And look closely - are they real or is someone pulling your whiskers?

My wife sent me these. I'm pretty sure these are photoshopped. There's not a cat in the world that I've ever mat that would sit still for being painted like this, expecially with an airbrush.

Because when you have thousands of dollars to spend on keeping your cat designed why not?

I know it's nearly impossible to give my cat a pill, let alone have her go through body painting, LOL! Maybe sedated, but that would be mean.

I'm pretty sure they're "fake, but accurate." ;)

I am trying to find the original article I read about this. It said it costs a lot to have it done and then thousands to upkeep it as the hair falls out. If it is true the only way I can think of is literally completely sedating the cat in probably several sessions.

Before you paint them, you need to make sure they're clean
