Fun facts:
-It cost $5,000 in 1888 to have this painting made, which is more than $120,000 in today’s money.
-I say 1888 because it took three years for Kahler to complete, reportedly because he spent most of the time studying and sketching each cat to get a feel for their personality.
-It was painted for Kate Johnson, the title was her husband’s idea though, proving him the most patient and good-humored husband in the history of crazy cat ladies.
-Speaking of cat ladies, the picture actually contains 42 cats. Or more specifically, Mrs. Johnson’s 42 most favorite cats. She had 350 in total.
-It sold at auction via Sotheby’s a few days ago for over $800,000 dollars, vastly more than its $200,000-$300,000 estimate.
-The buyer is a private collector in California.
-Probably someone who really, really likes cats.
-I mean, really likes cats.

Also, this was one of those movies that had a real predrink-Renaissance in my group of friends during university. Nothing says "getting read for a night out!" better than this insane garbage playing in the background.
So what I'm saying is, this movie is stalking me I guess???
