A cat means a long life and a sparrow means wealth and fame There is a Byeonsang mural painter who is a representative cat painter in the Joseon Dynasty. His drawing shows two cats and six sparrows, and the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty developed a love cat culture, and the painting garden was ranked the highest by painters who painted landscapes and animals, followed by the king's portrait
Therefore, there must have been many cat works because there were many royal commissions and there were specific painters who painted Yeongmoman, the highest grade after the landscape painting grade. And it appears in the painting with a bird, and there's a saying to study like a cat catching a mouse, but cats actually like birds more than mice.
