Strange Medieval Cat Paintings That Will Make You Wonder 'Why?!'
Medieval artists clearly had cats on the brain, even if they did not always have the drawing skills to match. The result is a wonderfully strange collection of feline art that ranges from charmingly odd to completely baffling.
These images show cats with human faces, cats doing human jobs, and cats sharing space with creatures that make the whole scene even weirder. Whether the artists were working from memory, imagination, or pure chaos, the final effect is hard to forget.
Scroll through the gallery and see how many of these medieval cats feel weirdly familiar.
