Today We, Zarathustra the Cat, present you the newly

unveiled true version of Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry
Night», which is better to call “The Furry Night»

Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night, ! " # $ %

true version, aka The Furry Night

The artist asked us to pose for the painting in 1889, when

we worked on his «Irises»

The work was rather exhausting for me: the great master
asked Us to attack poisonous flowers severely
We needed a good nap after all Our efforts

Van Gogh loved to watch Us peacefully sleeping, and he

became inspired to create a new masterpiece

It was an easy job for Us: We did what all cats are doing
professionally: napping after a good dinner. And of course,
who would pose for the stars? Only We, We are the
brightest star!

The painting was finished quickly, but art critics didn’t

understand the innovative visionary picture.

They said, «Vincent, come on, your stars are so fat!”

Van Gogh, who was always very sensitive about silly critics,
painted the cats over. But he was very unhappy with his
decision, that is why in a letter to painter Émile Bernard
from late November 1889, Van Gogh referred to the
painting as a “failure.»

That is why you don’t see cats at the commonly known

version in the Museum of Modern Art, New York

from MoMA collection

But they have a secret room, where one can see the true
version. Just come to the service desk there and ask to
show you the version with cats
They will be happy to help you!

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
