Since ancient times, China has established a country with agriculture, planting grains, and cats are good at catching mice, and have the function of protecting food and are tame and lovely, so they are loved by the world. As the saying goes, dogs come rich, cats come expensive. "Cat" is homophonic to "耄", so it has the auspicious meaning of praying for longevity, and has become a good theme for painting. According to the history of painting, such as Lu Ben and Diao Guangyin in the Tang Dynasty, Li Di, Qi Xu, Jin Qing, He Zunshi and so on in the Song Dynasty are all famous cat painters.

In the painting, the cat's head is low, its back is arched, its limbs are curled up, and it is like sleeping soundly, which is exactly "the cat's gain and loss to see the heart", which shows that the painter knows the habits of cats well, and writes with ease. This kitten is not a white cat, the body is mostly white, but the forehead, back and tail are black, this color cat has a name called "dark clouds cover snow". In the photo taken by a reporter from LIFE magazine in the United States in 1948, there is such a picture: Mr. Shiraishi is painting, and this "dark clouds cover snow" kitten comes to the side to watch and has been waiting.

Qi Baishi rarely painted beasts in his life, he once imitated Wang Zhen's cat, consciously "the whole body is not be", lamented that "the world of copying the old and dead has no good paintings", so he always made himself ancient. This work was created at the transition period from Qi Baishi's prime to his later years, during which his painting entered the extreme of "rigor" and "relaxation". On the one hand, years of practice have made every stroke of Qi Baishi's painting extremely refined and in place; On the other hand, it is precisely this kind of artistic confidence brought by the perfection of the brush, the ink and the coloring, that makes the painter feel particularly free and easy when he paints the brush.
