#47: Cats Nightmare, Illustrated by Louis Wain, 1890
Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night because you felt like somebody was watching you? We’ve all had that dream where you’re peacefully asleep when suddenly your heart rate begins increasing. Slowly, the feeling builds until you become aware and start to wake up…
That’s the feeling this illustration gives us. Poor little kitties, waking up and seeing dozens of glittery owl eyes staring back at you can’t be a nice feeling. Then again, these cats themselves have probably given their owners a few similar scares, so perhaps it’s karma.
