When I was doing research about different exotic cats I came across this article that talked about his Ocelot that he brought with him to a restaurant and the waiter questioned him and the cat to which he said it was just a normal cat painted over in an “op art design”. This happened at an upscale Manhattan restaurant when Babou was tethering on the table and the diner next to him wasn’t sure what the heck was going on (she probably didnt know or appreciate that Dali one of the biggest artist was next to her….)

He bought Babou in the 1960s and brought him almost everywhere. He wore a stone studded collar and here is a photo of the beautiful cat below. a fellow diner.
