If you look for the representation of cats in paintings and sculpture, you find a surprising plenty! Italian art historian Stefano Zuffi discovered hundreds of examples, and they fill the pages of The Cat in Art. His beautifully produced book begins with antiquity, proceeds on through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque period, and the Enlightenment, and ends up with the "Modern Cat." The final chapter, entitled "The Cat Possessed," shows how the cat has been associated with diabolic representations and negative attitudes throughout history.
