I call it Don Corleone & Cat. Most people don’t know that The Don was actually second in command. It was the cat, Mr. Whiskers who gave the orders. He was whacking mice left and right and paying his crew with fish. Humans were made to scoop litter and serve him Fancy Feast day and night. But I digress. This piece of cool art is made from the entire Godfather script using varying shades of black, with a bit of red. A 24″ x 30″ poster will set you back $14, an unsigned giclee (limited edition of 1,000), $100, and a signed giclee (limited edition of 250), $300.

Jeff de Boer is an artist who believes that cats would look cooler if they were wearing a suit of armor. I have to agree. I can easily see an alternate reality where cats are knights, fighting fire breathing mouse-dragons. That’s right, a crazy bizarro world were armored cats make humans piss in a box!

This guy has been making armor for animals since the 90’s, and he began with protective gear for mice (see pictures after jump). Then he found himself making cat battle armor.

Note: Do NOT show this to your cat! Right now we are the superior species. They must never know that they can be clothed for battle.
