# Hyperreal Latte Art This Amazing Latte Art Features Highly Life-Like Felines By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-10-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-latte-art References: [en.rocketnews24](http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/10/28/realistic-cat-latte-art-blows-us-away-puts-us-off-our-coffee/) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/dongurinekobei/status/525969531961737217/photo/1) This amazing latte art piece from [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divine) user @dongurinekobei was inspired by a love of coffee and cats. As an owner of a six-year-old tabby cat and in the past, a few foster kittens, this latte art was created as a [tribute to the furry friends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom). Although some latte art is quite simplistic in the way lines and shapes are created, this one is extremely photo-realistic and looks like it was printed right from an image. These tributes to each of Dongurinekobei's pet cats is a great way to immortalize each feline in a way that's artful, tasty and not at all wasteful. Even though the cats are clearly different breeds, it's still evident that each of them has quite a different personality as seen in the latte art. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hyperreal Beverage Art:** Innovative beverage artists can create coffee and/or tea art that is hyperrealistic and pays tribute to various things. - **Pet-inspired Food and Beverage Art:** Creating food and/or beverage art that pays tribute to pets is a growing trend that can be further explored. - **Photorealistic Food and Beverage Art:** The trend of photorealistic food and beverage art can be expanded upon to create impressive and unique tributes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Restaurants and cafes can collaborate with artists to introduce unique coffee and/or tea art to customers. - **Pet Industry:** Pet-related businesses, such as groomers, veterinarians, and pet stores, can incorporate pet-inspired food and beverage art into their branding or services. - **Art Industry:** Artists can explore new mediums, such as coffee and/or tea, to create distinctive and lifelike pieces for customers and collectors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Coffee Merch Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-mofusand.md) - [Adorable Cat Milk Cartons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adorable-blue-cat.md) - [Cat Cafe Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-cafe-beds.md) - [Playful Coffee-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrew-rae.md) - [Cat-Focused Wooden Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tristy-of-the-cats.md) - [Tri-Spout Latte Art Pitchers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latte-art-pitcher.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md) - [AI Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawmypet.md) - [Adorable Cat-Themed Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mofusand.md)
