Medieval Cat Art: So Ugly It's Hilarious

When it comes to medieval art, cats were a popular subject, but the artists didn’t always get it quite right, if you know what I mean. Their depictions of cats were… well, let’s just say interesting.

Sometimes, it’s like they were trying to paint a cat from memory, but they hadn’t actually ever seen a cat. The result? A creature that looks like a cross between a demon and a cartoon character. You know the type – bug eyes, weirdly placed ears, and a face that looks hilariously otherworldly.

It looks as if when these artists were painting cats, their brush had a mind of its own. But let’s be real here – we love these paintings for that exact reason. They may not be accurate, but instead they’re hilarious. Plus, they give us a glimpse into how cats were viewed in medieval times.

The artists from those days may not have been the best at painting cats, but at least they gave us some good laughs. It just goes to show that even the most skilled artists can have an off day, or in this case, an off cat.
