So, the cats that paint seem to be a hoax, as are the cats that are painted on. The myth got started by a very clever book called Why Paint Cats, featuring digitally altered cat pictures accompanied by slightly-too-official-sounding art jargon. A similar book about cats that paint was written by the same author. It's pretty funny, and the cat pictures must have taken forever to do, some might even consider them satiric art in their own right.
The Snopes article about the book is here, with pictures:
and here is some funny discussion from people who have taken it seriously:

It looks like this response site was edited by the authors of the original book- this is their fan mail! This is truly amazing.
