So far as I can tell Constantijn Netscher was the only one of this talented line who painted a cat, and even he painted more dogs in his portraits of wealthy people. This painting is dated 1711.
It is an effective rendering of a youth and a cat.

December 16, 1668
Constantijn Netscher (December 16, 1668 to March 27, 1723), the Dutch artist, was the grandson of a German sculptor, Johann Netscher. His father and brothers were also painters. His father Caspar (1639 –1684) was famous for his rendering of fabric, and you see a similar skill in this son. Such talent was particularly important in an era when clothes made the social standing.
