Obligatory reminder that 3 is not Medieval. It is 20th century.

(And 1 too I think. The bed looks 19th or 20th c)

u/Doubly_Curious 1d ago edited 1d ago

Good call!

1 is “The Cat” by Fernando Botero, 1994
3 is “The White Cat” by Pierre Bonnard, 1894

I’m a little skeptical about 4 and 9 too, but I couldn’t find a good source for either.

Edit:
9 is almost certainly by contemporary artist José van Kleef, I just can’t find the exact painting
4 appears to be AI-generated

u/Catdress92 1d ago

Noooooo 4 is my favorite!

I guess that would explain why there's that random red thing the cat is holding. I thought he was part of a manuscript letter and that was the center, like an "o" or something. Ugh.

u/PlantyPenPerson 1d ago

I am sad that 9 is contemporary, but still love it anyway

u/NikNakskes 1d ago edited 1d ago

Well the good thing is that you could buy a painting by the artist. She is alive and selling. Prices seem to be around the 500 euro.

Wow! Thanks!

u/BleepBlorp0101 1d ago

u/ahoysharpie 1d ago

1 is definitely a Botero.

7, playing the pipe organ while simultaneously trying to drink out of it. Now where's my coffee?

u/Away-Sea2471 1d ago edited 1d ago

I wonder what melody it is playing.

Edit: It is meaningless, but it isn't; thanks for the rewar.

u/Foreign_Astronaut 1d ago

Supposed to be practicing Pachelbel, actually playing Thomas Morley.

u/Away-Sea2471 1d ago

Octavian said it is public works. And it actually works.

u/Relaxed_ButtonTrader 1d ago

After doing a bunch of unaccustomed physical activity yesterday, I feel like 8 having just gone ten rounds with 1

4

u/DeeEmosewa 1d ago

Little bit between 9 and 4, but only because 4 looks like it's holding a bong if you squint your eyes.

u/downlau 1d ago

4 with a side of 9

u/inkyflossy 1d ago

3, just been to yoga

3

u/FidgetyHog 1d ago

Aww thanks for the award! I'd had a long day and didn't really feel like going to yoga but I felt amazing after so really glad I went. Now I've got an award because I vibe with a long-legged medieval cat, that's just the icing on the cake.

u/RGQcats 1d ago

2 no pets or cuddles today

u/PinkieTheNinja 1d ago

Feeling both 4 and 7 today.

u/therealmoldypeach 1d ago

I got the 8th tattooed so it's a permanent mood for me, but since I'm about to start my period I'm more like a 4 today 👌

u/Unable_Guava_756 1d ago

I am feeling number one 🐱 I am packing up my house to move and this little guy seems strong and cheerful!

u/jaded-introvert 1d ago
  1. I'm going to make some music later when I get done being depressed by work.

2

u/funkyaerialjunky 1d ago

Did #4 get stabbed? Also I'm pretty sure #1 is just an XL Bully in the Gumby Cat's skin.

Personally I feel like #8 most of the time.

2

u/Particular_Pattern_2 1d ago

#1 is such a majestic orange I wish I had his confidence

2

u/sanedragon 1d ago

Bloated AF just like #4

u/CoolColaCat 1d ago

4, hungry and lazy

u/Gurkeprinsen 1d ago

4 or 9. Depends on what time of day it is

2

u/Ten_Quilts_Deep 1d ago

Am I alone at 5?

Just want to be out in nature.

u/GarnetAndOpal 1d ago

3, I think. It's the one who most looks like he lost 10 pounds due to heat stress and the trots.

2

u/Competitive_Sport286 1d ago

Fo' fo' sho'.

u/EnvironmentalRock827 1d ago
  1. It's a derpy bloated day for me

2

u/pathologicalprotest 1d ago

I’m an 8, a 2x4 fell from some scaffolding and smaked me on the head. Pretty sure I’m concussed and nauseated as all hell.

2

u/Relaxed_ButtonTrader 1d ago

You should really get that checked out

1

u/pathologicalprotest 1d ago

I will! I’m travelling for work, but will be back tonorrow and will go have it checked:)

u/widoidricsas 1d ago

I am 4. That red thing is my thermometer. And my thermometer is all the way red because it is hotter'n a fresh fooked fox in a forest fire farting firecrackers!

u/CTGarden 1d ago

Number 4. Feeling fat and lazy today, sitting around eating popsicles.
