The tiny cat sitting up, in vol. liii, Fig. 5, of the same collection, is excellent, and is shown in Plate CXXVI. This is not the only example of pictures of cats. One appears at the feet of the Emperor Farrukhsiyar in volume No. 5 of Exhibition Case B in the King's Library, British Museum, and a few others occur in other compositions. A Chinese artist was famous as a specialist in cats, and it is probable that his example was followed in India.
