We’re often treated to videos of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin doing something ultra-macho, be it piloting jets and submarines, shooting large animals with tranquilizer darts, or fighting forest fires.

However, the leader of the largest country in the world also has a sensitive side. He just doesn’t let it show very often. When you give him the opportunity, though, just watch as he marvels you with his talent.

For example, while attending a demonstration for an interactive projection whiteboard, inspiration struck President Putin and he knew exactly how to visually express what was on his mind.

Going to work like he’s made this figure 100 times before, we watch and try to decipher what this artisan is trying to make. Is it a face? A rocket ship?

Oh, it’s a cat’s butt!

I’m no psychologist but one of the powerful men in the world choosing to draw a cat’s rear-end has to say something about him. Russian commenters put forth the theory that he may have unconscious regrets of the treatment of the punk band Pussy Riot.

Japanese views thought something else might be going on saying; “It kind of looks like a missile.”; “Is this some kind of trick picture?”; and “He’s drunk.” I, on the other hand, think he may have just tipped us off to the 2014 Sochi Olympics mascot. If any of our readers happens to understand Russian and can tell us what he says at the end it could go a long way to unraveling this.

Then again we may just never know. Putin swiftly left the demonstration after finishing his creation. That was enough art for one day and he had an appointment to wrestle a colossal squid bare-chested in the Antarctic.
