Arnold's cat map

Arnold's Cat Map is a way of turning a picture into something new! It's named after the mathematician Vladimir Arnold, who invented it. To do this, Arnold's Cat Map takes a picture and divides it into squares. Then, it switches the squares around and makes a new picture. It's like a secret puzzle, since the new picture looks very different from the original.
