interesting.  this looks like a 2nd- or 3rd-generation mutation of
something I made.  if I can find enough of these mutations, I can
build a theory of evolution for ascii art. :)

anyway, here's a final version of a cat I posted a few days ago.

                       (`.-,')
                     .-'     ;
                 _.-'   , `,-
           _ _.-'     .'  /._
         .' `  _.-.  /  ,'._;)
        (       .  )-| (
         )`,_ ,'_,'  \_;)  fL
 ('_  _,'.'  (___,))
  `-:;.-'

and below is my scratchpad for this cat.  the lower ones are earlier
versions.  the cat become simpler as I worked on it more.  the model
for this was a picture of a tiger, and in the earliest version you can
sort of see the stripes.  but it's hard to do that sort of detail at
this scale except in a vague way, so once I stopped looking at the
model and started doing serious cleanup, the stripes disappeared.

                      (`.-,')
                    .-'     ;
                _,-'   , `,-
          _ _,-'     .'  /._
        .' `  _,-.  /  ,'._;)
       (       .  )-| (
  ,;    )`,_ ,'_,'  \_;)
  `:;:;:.'  (___,))

                      (`.-,')
                    ,-'    );
