Hundertwasser's comment on the work
The "Cat of Atlantis" became "Mu No Neko" (The Cat of Mu, the Japanese name for the Atlantis of the Pacific). The original painting was painted on Santorin in a white cave-house. Santorin is said to have been Atlantis. While dreaming about Atlantis and Mu, a painting like this comes about of its own accord: a cat consisting of walls and windows, as white as chalk or snow. (Hundertwasser Graphic Works 1994-2000. The Exhibition of Hundertwasser's Last Graphic Works. Museums Betriebs Gesellschaft, Vienna, 2001, p. 26)
