Paul Klee's cats

I first saw Paul Klee's (1879–1940) paintings in person at the art museum in Cleveland. Oh, they were entrancing! I don't recall seeing cat paintings per se there, but today I ran into one on FB (I should just call this blog "My Facebook Encounters," shouldn't I?), and that got me looking for more of his work. And what I happened upon was his cats, and so yes, I just kept going down that rabbit (not cat!) hole. And here is some of what I found.

Cat Staring at the Moon, c. 1920

A Kind of Cat, 1937

Brocard Katze sich leckend, 1905

Tom Cat's Turf, 1919

Cat and Bird, 1928

Where this post started:
The Mountain of the Sacred Cat, 1923

Paul Klee, his wife Lily, and their cat Bimbo
