I can't believe nobody's even tried to win the latest cultural trivia contest.
Once again, here it is, in all its simplicity: name a work by an extremely famous 20th-century artist that was destroyed by cats.
Yes, there really is one. Come on, people, step up to the plate!
"Phantom in Manhattan", destroyed by Otto.
Well, it's only one cat. But its owner wrote "Cats", maybe that's an excuse.

(I tried to find out before, googeling for "destroyed by cat" without result. Then a brilliant idea came to my mind: What if I use Yahoo! instead of Google-Search...!? )

Not what I had in mind, but fantastic nonetheless. Thanks, Kai!

Well,not EXACTLY from the 20th century...:
"Even Lessing's quaint nature could find a source of enjoyment in this
animal ; on his writing-table lay his cat, and no one can read without
emotion how Lessing, when his favorite had destroyed the manuscript of "
Nathan," patiently and quietly wrote the poem anew without depriving
the author of the mischief of its usual place."
