Cats and Glamour
They say that cats are not glamorous beings, and fashion-addicted young ladies prefer handbag dogs and other accessory beings as ermines. But this is not true! Look at the original version of the portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, who was the most glamorous lady of that time:
Leonardo da Vinci. Lady with a Cat pretending to be an Ermine (Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani)
On that day, after a sumptuous dinner at Duke Sforza’s palace, We meditated on luxury fashion and ermine mantles… Having noticed our glamourous mood, some ignoramus, who thought that the elegance of being depends on the price of its coat, painted an ermine over the Cat. But We and Our beloved sister Fee from Germany know that true elegance is harmony and noble manners, and the cats are the most elegant beings on Earth
