That cat in the upper right has to be a Botero. That guy loves chonk.

This is my favorite kind of fucked up looking cat painting. It's not nearly as bad as some, but it makes me laugh. Goya was really like, "here are portraits of royalty, here's some real violent shit, aaaand here a couple of cats throwing down."

I found this one in an old castle last summer, still cracks me up

"Okay, I did it. I have painted your cat."

"Grand! Is it framed yet?"

"Is it WHAT."

"Framed, my good fellow! I want the portrait framed!"

"The... I will be right back."

an angry purple cat runs about in the background

The top left one is stylishly painted and I love it. The others are pretty remarkable in how bad they are.

Top left one is just stretching. I've seen cats look exactly like that when stretching, same face and all, no stylisation required, other than what's already naturally built-in due to them being cats.

Top right one is somewhat stylised, but mostly is just high on catnip.

The other two... yeah, those ain't very good.
