Wouldn't you love to be as relaxed and carefree as the Roman cat depicted in this beautiful artwork? Painted in 1996 by the renowned artist Huang Yongyu (1924-2023), this piece captures the essence of a cat's joyful and leisurely life.

Huang inscribed the painting in honor of his daughter, who, having lived in Italy for more than 10 years and being deeply influenced by Italian tradition of feeding homeless cats, has adopted almost 10 cats at home.

Let's wish our feline friends happiness, and may you find the same joy and tranquility in your own life. Happy International Cat Day!
