"Chat: A Difficult Catch" is a painting by the Belgian artist Charles van den Eycken (1859–1923), known for his detailed and lifelike depictions of domestic animals, particularly cats. The artwork is a testament to Van den Eycken's skill in capturing the playful and mischievous nature of felines, a subject that garnered him considerable popularity during his lifetime. The painting features a cat in the midst of an attempted capture of its prey, showcasing the artist's ability to portray movement and emotion, as well as his meticulous attention to the texture and patterns of the cat's fur.

As a genre painter, Van den Eycken often imbued his works with a sense of narrative, and "Chat: A Difficult Catch" is no exception. The scene is likely to evoke a sense of empathy or amusement in the viewer, as it reflects a common and relatable moment in the life of a pet. The painting's date of creation is not well-documented, but it falls within Van den Eycken's most productive period, when he was actively exhibiting his works in salons and galleries across Europe.

While the painting itself may not be as widely recognized as the works of some of Van den Eycken's contemporaries, it is a fine example of his artistic legacy and his contribution to the portrayal of animals in art. "Chat: A Difficult Catch" remains of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of 19th-century European art, particularly those with an affinity for animal paintings. The current location or ownership of the painting is not publicly documented, which is not uncommon for works by artists of this period.
