I love how the perception of cats remains constant in time as reflected in this quote by Jules Champfleury, a French art critic and novelist who was born in 1820. I for one could watch a napping cat for hours, completely mesmerized by the simple beauty of the act. My cats, of course, are only too happy to indulge me in that capacity as witnessed by my sweet little Mia who models with\u00a0absolutely perfect beatitude.<\/p>\n

Jules Fran\u00e7ois Felix Fleury-Husson (1820 Laon, Aisne – 1889 S\u00e8vres), who wrote under the name Champfleury, was a French art critic,\u00a0novelist,\u00a0and a prominent supporter of the Realist movement in painting and fiction. His novels were among the earliest Realist works and in 1870 his book, Les Chats, a series of essays about cats including portrayals of cats by prominent artists of the time, was published by Librarie de la Societe Botanique de France.
