The cats’ house
This entry is a description of an illustration I downloaded below of Franco Matticchio, an Italian illustrator.
I’ve counted 28 cats in the picture, without counting cats on TV in the middle at the right and on paintings hanged at the back of the room; and I may have forgotten some of them.
On this picture, cats are like humans living in a developed country, enjoying a lot of comfort. Cats are having human behaviour : one of them is taking a book in the book-case. Another is opening the fridge.
In the foreground, there is a table. 3 cats are sit down on chairs around the table and one of them has a plate in front of him. A fourth cat is lying on the table.
In the foreground at the right there is a bed and a beside table. A cat is sleeping on the bed, and another is looking at him in back of the bed with only his head above. The odd thing is that beside the bed, there is a carpet with 3 slippers instead of 2 usually.
As cats are everywhere, maybe a cat is hiding or sleeping in the cabinet at the left since doors aren’t closed. On the cabinet, there are 3 cactus. Beside the cabinet, a cat is playing with a ball of wool.
In the middle at the right, there is a space dedicated to a living room where 4 cats are watching on TV. Two are sitting down or lying on sofa, one is sitting in front of the TV, and another is behind the pillar. Above the living room, a cat is walking vertically on the lamp wire, as if it was normal. On the pillar, there is a phone and memos which are pinned above and below.
At the window, two cats are looking what happens inside.
In the background, there is a kitchen and stairs leading to another room. A cat is going down the stairs, and another is waiting front to a closed door, beside a coat rack where are hanged a coat, a hat, and an umbrella.
What might have happened ? Was there any witch who changed humans in cats ?

The cats’ house
The entry below is a description of an illustration I downloaded below by Franco Matticchio, an Italian illustrator.
I’ve counted 28 cats in the picture, without counting cats on (the)TV in the middle right and on paintings hung* (/hanging) at the back of the room;* and I may have forgotten some of them. (*hung is the past tense of hang when talking about paintings/streamers/tinsel etc. Hanged is also a word, but only refers to being "hanged" as a punishment or if someone "hanged" themselves to commit suicide) (*semi-colons connect two main clauses, ie two 'ideas' that make sense on their own)

In the foreground, there is a table. 3 cats are sat (/sitting) down on chairs around the table and one of them has a plate in front of him. A fourth cat is lying on the table.
In the foreground to the right there is a bed and a bedside table. A cat is sleeping on the bed, and another is looking at him in at the back of the bed with only his head (peeking/showing) above (the bed). The odd thing is that beside the bed, there is a carpet (/a rug) with 3 slippers (on it) instead of the usual 2 usually.
