Hi everyone! Today we are joining Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop. I didn’t make any art, but I thought you would like to see some of the art on exhibit at The Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, MA.
There are several famous pieces of cat art on display until September 4th for example, Woman with a Cat, 1864, Gustave Courbet. There was also cat-inspired art work from the community which was one of my favorite parts.
I don’t know what is wrong with me, but the “real” art didn’t thrill me. Here are 2 examples. 
I was much happier with the art of local people. This one was from a lady in my town who always rescues cats and loaned me the trap to catch Brody and the other ferals.
She takes great photos of adoptable kitties.
These are some of my favorites,
this one was in memory of a cat that had CKD 
I love the tummy on this one
They also have a “Cats- In -Residence” program in partnership with the Worcester Animal Rescue League. There are adoptable cats in an enclosure that you can enter and interact with. When I went, there were 4 cats, 2 were hiding and the other 2 were very friendly. They are all adoptable and as they get adopted new ones are added.
My Mom and I were both tempted by this cutie.
You can see a live feed 24/7 if you click here. They are also offering classes to sew catnip toys, take pet photos and many others. None were being offered the day we were there, but they sound like fun. This was a great way to spend my birthday last week.
What cool art!
There were so many nice ones.
I love the idea of “Cats- In -Residence”. And I prefer the cat art too over the real art.
The cat art is obviously “the real art”!
Very true 🙂
I like that idea too, I am glad I am not the only one that prefers the cat art.
We loved all the pictures of the cats but especially the oblong picture of them.
That was a good one 🙂
Oh, cool art!! We don’t know anything about art, our Mom included…. hehehe.
Same here:)
Thanks for sharing your visit.
It looks like a fun way to spend your birthday.
I think it’s all real art!
xxoo

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
I like the more contemporary art of the locals too.
Me too 🙂
Cats are magnificent works of art all by themselves 🙂
That is so true!
I’m so glad you got to go when so much cat art was on display. I love the art of your local friend. And I love that they have adoptable cats on site! That is so great! Purrs, and thank you for sharing this all with us!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
That is very cool, especially the residence kitties!
Those were my favorite too 🙂
Agree that the local art is better. Love the idea of cats in resident too. Hope you are all doing well 🙂

Glad you agree 🙂 The cats in residence is a great idea :)XO
Wow, awesome and comforting to know that so many people are out there helping the cats who need homes. Very nice post and I would have been tempted by that little Russian Blue too as he looks like my Alpha in friendlier sort of way 🙂

Thank you 🙂 That little cat was very tempting. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this unique exhibit with us! Even though some was kinda vanilla, the local ones were great and this is a neat thing to do!
You’re welcome, glad you liked it.
How fun. I want to go. I would have love playing with (okay loving on) the cats in residence.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your mom. ☺
That was my favorite part 🙂 Hope you had a great day.
That’s purrfect art and that tummy does reminding me of someone I know…MOL 😀 Brotherhood Pawkisses for a Happy Caturday 🙂 <3
Your tummy would make beautiful art too 🙂
We love all the artwork!!
It was all nice. 🙂
Now that is great Cat Art. We like those pictures a lot. You all have a great week end.

You’re welcome 🙂 XO
Very cool art! They even have a Sphynx! Wow! We don’t see Sphynx art very often!
There were actually 2 with Sphynx, I thought I had photos of both, but I guess I only had this one.
Ohhh I love the local art too…
Hugs Madi your bffff
It was much nicer 🙂 XO
We prefer the amateur art over the “real” art. It has more heart!
I agree 🙂 I couldn’t think of the word amateur when I was writing the post, I am getting old 🙂
I don’t “get” regular art, either…but I sure do love cat art!
Glad I am not the only one that doesn’t get it. 🙂
What a great idea!
Have a super Saturday…
Noodle and crew
It is a fun exhibit.
I like your favorite art works with kitties, too. Especially the one in memory of a kitty who had CKD. Beautiful image.
That one was one of my favorites too.
We love this kind of art!
Me too 🙂
How kewl is that. Love the local art too. The adoptable cats are the icing on the cake.
They sure are- I love icing and cats 🙂
Sounds like you had some birthday fun!
I had a wonderful birthday! 🙂
What marvelous pictures you took of marvelous pictures!
Mes LOVES them all!
Kisses
Nellie
Thank you 🙂 XO
Oh nice exhibit!!!!! Mom and I quite like the artwork with the lady holding the big cat on her shoulder…it’s sweet…..but everything is nice. Especially like the fact they included adoptable cats in the exhibit!
Hugs, Sammy
Glad you had a good birthday, Miss Ellen.
How fun to have a museum like that! It would be pawsome as a birthday activity, and you scored! Did your own kitties sniff you all over when you got home?? MOL!
Thank you 🙂 I only touched one cat and I washed my hands so they never knew 🙂
Oh I’m jealous that you got to see this exhibit! Looks really neat.
It was very nice.
