One of the pioneers of abstract modern art, Wassily Kandinsky started interrelation between color and form to create an aesthetic experience that engaged the sight, sound, and emotions of the public. He believed that total abstraction offered the possibility for profound expression and copying from nature only interfered with this process. His visual vocabulary developed through three phases, shifting from his early, representative canvases and their divine symbolism to his rapturous and operatic compositions, to his late, geometric and biomorphic flat planes of color. Kandinsky’s art and ideas inspired many generations of artists, from his students at the Bauhaus to the Abstract Expressionists after World War II.

A house without a cat will never be a real home. Cat gives home a soul. This is how the unique poets and writers write about it. As all cat lovers know the cat as opposed to other domestic animals and farm animals, no domesticated man. The cat has grown himself and on his own terms. The relationship between humans and domestic cats has taken on the characteristics of symbiosis for thousands of years. Cats see differences in species and know that their caretakers are not cats. This confirms the difference between the body language used by the cat in dealing with humans and that used by the species. Some zoologists believe that a cat treats a caregiver as a surrogate mother, remaining in a state of “prolonged childhood.”
The cat does not tolerate ill treatment and is very unhappy in this respect. Well treated, attached to his owner and in his restrained manner turns out to him friendly feelings (he goes out for a meeting, goes out for walks, accompanies at work, asks for strokes, etc.) Some cats can teach simple tricks.
