manet cats
That's all Edouard Manet called the sketch in 1869: The Cats. It's an etching of three simply and elegantly rendered cats - Manet was good like that - against white space, doing the things cats do. Including lick themselves*. He rendered that one as a shaded form so it may take you a minute to figure out that's what it is; I found great pleasure in the abstraction, too. Anyway, go to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts website and enjoy.

Curator. Your LOLCats link has problems. Looks like an edit got confused, from looking at the page source.
