Via Russian artist Svetlana Petrova and her feline muse, Zarathustra.
She tells the BBC: "I lost my mother in 2008 and she left me Zarathustra. I got horrible depression after her death and for two years I was unable to do something creative. By chance a friend asked me 'why don't you make an art project with your cat because he's so funny'."
Svetlana was happy for us to use these images, but she asked for Zarathustra to be credited as co-author. We are happy to oblige.
Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
In the original photo taken for the Mona Lisa parody, Zarathustra was reclining on Svetlana and "sliding because he's too big". "It makes Mona Lisa look like a modern girl who's taking a selfie with her cat," she says.
