The
History of Feline Art

the c.3000 BC Aperia Cats, Etak and Tikk, with their painted scrolls,
was the first conclusive evidence that cat-marking behavior was known
and valued by the ancient Egyptians.

being paid for cat paintings of all descriptions, it is not surprising

works of art in order to line their pockets.

The
Museum of Non-Primate Art, along with galleries devoted to the curation,
preservation and exhibition of cat works, are constantly on the lookout
for people who are able to provide interesting and meaningful interpretations
of feline creativity.
Methods

Museum of Non-Primate Art has recently introduced a set of 18 pictorial
cards which have been specially designed by their animal psychologist
to enable people to test their cat's creative potential.
