If you showed somebody these drawings and told them that they were accurate representations of cats, they'd probably laugh at you. But the truth is that they're actually purrfect depictions of our furry feline friends. Sure they're a little abstract, and ok, you might need to use your imagination with some of them, but as you can see from the pictures that inspired them, they're closer to the real thing than you might think. They were drawn by Heloisa, an artist from Brazil who posts their super-realistic creations on their Twitter account called Poorly Drawn Cats. Which one do you like the most? Let us know in the comments.

    This is a fully lit , scratchygrowl ,with rear handle for easy winding to make scratchygrowl emit loud, siren like noise. It is advised to wear heavy rubber gloves as other end of scratchygrowls can become very active when wound.
