Still life with a Cat and a Mackerel on a Tabletop. Giovanni Rivalta. www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/...

Oil painting of a table where it seems food preparation is taking place. Whole raw fish, a few oysters, some lemons,greens, kettles, and a basket of celery are displayed. Standing on the far side of the table is a shorthaired brown tabby and white cat with a fish in his mouth. This cat is adorable and looks straight at the viewer with a very worried expression, as if just caught in the act and unsure of its next move.

Still life with Cat. Sebastiano Lazzari. 1760. www.art.com/products/p53...

Oil painting of a white and ginger cat with strangely solid black eyes, standing on a table stealing a slice of fat-marbled cured meat from a tray. The cat is in a hunched, curved position like it knows it needs to make a run for it with its prize now.

That cat is a chonk too so you just know they're a pro

This one really grabbed the cat's expression well.
