The title of this painting originates from the poem by Thomas Gray which was first published in Robert Dodsley's A Collection of Poems by Several Hands in 1748. It was addressed to a cat belonging to the poet's friend Horace Walpole, to whom Gray sent a copy of the book in March, 1747.

Very precarious posture, but he is determined to get those fish. Well, we know the end of the story.
Great painting!
Morning. Very wet here. As someone with a cat and fish this seemed about right - poor cat.
