In 2011 (and since that year happened to be the Year of the Cat), Lavrentiy Anatolyevich Ivanov created several portraits of Behemoth the Cat for the website Petersburgskaya Dvornyazhka (The Petersburg Mongrel). Some may find the style of Soyuzmultfilm (Soviet animation studio) debatable when it comes to illustrating The Master and Margarita, but you and I are in favor of pluralism, are we not?
By the way, if you happen to have any information about this artist, please be so kind as to write to me about it.
Behemoth the Cat on the Tram Step

Behemoth the Cat with a Shot Glass of Vodka

Behemoth the Cat on the Stage of the Variety Theatre

Behemoth the Cat Found a Knight under the Bed

And He Found the Master’s Manuscript as Well

Behemoth the Cat Is Not Mischievous, He Is Not Touching Anyone

And Now He Is Being Mischievous

He Has Finished His Mischief

Ah, No—Not Finished Yet
