Why Paint Cats is a book written by a New Zealand author named Burton Silver and illustrated by Heather Busch. The book describes the fictional practice of "cat painting" in art and history (that is, decorating cats with paint, as distinguished from painting portraits of cats). It is one of three fictional cat art books, including Why Cats Paint and Dancing with Cats. Many people believe it to be true, despite the fact that Burton Silver has actually said it is fictional[citation needed].
