On March 11, 889, a 22-year-old Japanese emperor wrote in his diary about his new black cat.

“On the 6th Day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwashi.

The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.

In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back.

When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds.

By nature, it likes to stalk birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night.

I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.”

"The cat on the pillow."
Adolf von Becker (1831-1909)

Adolf von Becker was indeed known to have painted several cat-themed works. While I couldn't find a comprehensive list of his cat paintings, here are a few more examples:

- "Cat on a Chair" (1863)
- "Cat and Flowers" (1870s)
- "Kissa sohvalla" (Cat on the Sofa) (1880s)

Von Becker's cat paintings often featured domestic cats in quiet, everyday moments, showcasing his ability to capture the charm and character of these beloved animals. 😸❤️
