This timeless fascination is evident on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, etc., where images of cats abound. Historically, these enigmatic creatures have been a source of inspiration for many artists, including painters, writers, poets, sculptors, and photographers, some of whom have even incorporated real cats into their works.

When asked, “Why cats and not dogs?” Moreira responded, “I love dogs. I love animals in general. But I’ve been completely crazy about cats since the first moment I met them. I identify with their nuanced personality and I can’t take my eyes off the beauty gathered in one species.”
Regarding the abundance of cat material for her Instagram account, Moreira explained, “Image banks from large museums, old magazines, and international universities always yield great photos, often with super interesting stories.”
On the historical success of cats, Moreira revealed, “A fact that I discovered over the years of researching content about cats is that they were highly sought after and pampered on large vessels, especially during periods of war. The main function was to fight rats, but they ended up being an escape valve for the sailors, a little bit of love in the midst of so much tension.”
Finally, when inquired about her life outside of Instagram, Moreira shared, “I have a degree in journalism and have been working with social media for a few years now. I like to rest, listen to good music, go out a little, and have contact with nature. My cat died last year, but I’m sure I’ll have other cats again. It’s a matter of time.”
