My daughter (9 years old) wanted to find a painting that has a cat on it. A cat anywhere on a picture. We found none. Not one single painting with any cat on it. Lots of dogs, exotic animals, birds, etc.. but no cat. The closest to cat were lions. Do you know any painting earlier than 1950 that has cats on them? The real winner would be a medieval painting that features a cat. Yep. A medieval lolcat would be the absolute winner....]]></description><comments>12</comments><score></score><crdate>1/7/2008 12:29:34 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-01-07T12:29:34+01:00</atomdate></link><link><id>2325</id><url>http://www.plime.com/arts/f/2325/1/</url><title><![CDATA[Need painting help from artistically non-challenged people]]></title><description><![CDATA[ Hey Plimates,  I asked this in the Worth forums as well, but there's so much more out there...
