What do you get when you mix cats with art? Other than a viral internet sensation, you get a lot of jealously from people who do not have giant bushes in the shape of their beloved pets.
Richard Saunders, a surrealist artist, took a photograph of a lovely garden scene. Upon examining the photo later, he realised that a bush resembled his Russian Blue cat, Tolly. Saunders decided to photograph his cat in a sleeping position and superimpose it over the original scene. He posted the work online and, to his absolute surprise, it went viral. Given the positive response, Saunders decided to continue creating giant topiary cat images.
Someone reposted the photo without Richard's watermark, claiming it to be a real image and it went viral!
If the topiary cat were real, this is how Saunders would imagine his home!
