Zarathustra is a chubby cat that seems to have an unusual affinity for art. His owner, Svetlana Petrova, nurtures his interest by integrating him into iconic historical artworks. 

Zarathustra was handed down to Svetlana by her late mother, and she has diligently cared for him ever since. Her latest project, named Fat Cat Art, cleverly references Zarathustra’s round physique.

Svetlana is undoubtedly skilled, but honestly, I feel Zarathustra might be the true artist in this equation…haha!

“I am just a humble assistant to His Furry Majesty who kindly allows me to use all my painting, photography, and Photoshop skills to insert his precious images into masterpieces of renowned artists of the past.”

This little endeavor gained widespread popularity on Imgur a few years back, amassing a staggering four million views. Given our collective affection for felines, we’ve compiled some of Svetlana’s photos for your enjoyment! 

Take a look below and let us know what you think of this fine feline art.
