This looks like an opossum attempting to cover his face with a mask and his hairless tail with something a little girl found at the dollar store.
While levitating above moving water while sleeping is a magical trick closely related to art, I don't regard this portrayal as art so much as poorly done representation of an imaginative idea.
Still and all it triggered some thoughts, so there's that.
I have a ceramic figurine that is part fish in the back and cat in the front, similar to those in Debs post. It is holding up a black marble in its paws. Very cute. I bought it at a craft fair in Santa Cruz.
I kept it on my desk at work, as something that can remind me of a very important point, which I will get to in a moment.
Showing it to my husband I said: "Look, isn't it neat.....it is a magical mer-cat offering a precious black pearl from the bottom of the sea "
He looked and said: "Its a catfish bowling"
Now I can't see just the magical mer-cat anymore, but a cat-fish with a bowling ball. Thanks a lot Dumbplumber :-(
The point is that the interpretation of the very same thing can be widely divergent and diverse and that I should never assume that my clients see things the same way as I do. That I must try to see through their eyes in order to understand how and why they think they way they do if I want to be successful in presenting NEW ideas or investment advice to them.
DBQ, hilarious how hubby and Allen had the same take. I was just surprised to find purrcats were a thing...I had no clue. But a good lesson I'll keep in mind.
While seeing a catfish when looking at a picture of a cat with a fish tail hardly constitutes a hilarious take in my mind, I'm willing to imagine a bowling ball as a large black pearl.
I also don't have a hard time imagining cats with nine lives to spend living them all the same way. But then they do cat nap for up to 22 hours a day which yields lot of dream time.

Obviously, it's a cat fish.

Except a cat fish is better looking.

Amen, DBQ. One cat's black pearl might be another's bowling ball.
Which brings back the old raisin ad, about one man's fruit being another man's candy, and takes my thoughts back to chickelit's crazy hot matrix post.
